Select from one of the many idyllic locations around the natural lagoon for a picnic or barbeque, or simply relax and take in the atmosphere.

In the warmer weather, take the kids to cool off under the free water spray park, check out the fishing pontoon just off Lions Park or find a grassy spot to kick a ball.

You can even try your hand at some water skiing at the Lake Forbes Ski Dam, just down Bedgerabong Road.

Or you may wish to take in the beauty of your surroundings with a leisurely stroll (or something a bit more fast-paced) along the walking and cycle path that borders the lake itself.

Whatever your reason for stopping by, Lake Forbes has something for just about everyone.
