Summary

A gentle 1.5km loop around the lake with lots of amenities!

Description

This gentle loop has it all: BBQ, hundreds of water birds, playground, cafes, access to public transport and much more.

A fantastic route to take the pram, dog, kids or simply yourself. It is a very pretty public space which is very popular with the locals – especially on a sunny day!

If you are looking for a longer ‘bushy’ walk in the area, check out the Council’s ‘Aqueduct Recreation Trail’: http://www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/Files/Environment/cardinia-aqueduct_trail_map_web.pdf

The Council estimates the loop is 2,000 steps, which they consider is one fifth of the number of steps you should aim for per day.

Most of the walk has no guard rail, however the water depth is very shallow so do not be alarmed!
