Starting from the car park near the Cactus Garden Lookout on John Watson Drive, Mount Gambier, this walk takes you on a circuit around the Blue Lake. As the name suggests, the colour of the lake is blue, changing its nuance during the summer months from blue-grey to turquoise. There are numerous benches and interpretive signs along the way, and the trail is lit at night time. Toilets are available at the Blue Lake Reception Centre. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
