Freshwater Lake Walk

Starting from the car park off Nora Creina Road, Nora Creina, this walk takes you on a circuit around Freshwater Lake via the Freshwater Lake Walk. This short and easy loop meanders through a canopy of coastal mallee around Freshwater Lake, a haven for birds and wildlife located within Little Dip Conservation Park. Small bush birds and waterbirds can be seen along the walk, such as black ducks, swans, musk ducks and white-faced herons, as well as snake-necked turtles. There's a picnic area with tables near the trailhead, as well as a vantage point with seating where the trail descends to the water's edge. This loop consists of wide and narrow, mostly flat walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces, suitable for most fitness levels. 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.
