Lake Eildon National Park: A Watery Wonderland

Lake Eildon National Park, approximately 150 kilometres north-east of Melbourne, Victoria, is a popular destination for water-based recreation and outdoor pursuits. The park is situated on the traditional lands of the Taungurung people, whose deep connection to the land continues to be acknowledged and respected.

Encompassing the vast Lake Eildon, the park offers a range of activities including swimming, canoeing, waterskiing, sailing, fishing, and exploring the surrounding bushland. The park’s diverse ecosystems support a rich array of wildlife, including kangaroos, wombats, and various bird species.

Visitors can choose from a variety of camping options, ranging from well-equipped campgrounds to more secluded sites. The park also offers opportunities for hiking and exploring the surrounding landscape, with Merlo Lookout and Blowhard Summit providing stunning panoramic views.

While enjoying the park’s water-based activities, it is essential to adhere to water safety guidelines. The park’s history as a gold mining region means abandoned mine shafts pose a significant risk. Visitors are urged to exercise caution and avoid entering any such structures.
