Gone fishing:
Redfin, Catfish, Murray Cod, Yellow Belly … this impressive lake is FULL of fish. Fisherfolk from miles around regularly descend upon this fishing hotspot, including for the famous Lake Burrendong Fishing Classic.
Paddle power
Slip on your life jacket and tour Lake Burrendong from your very own kayak or canoe. Keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife as you paddle and take a moment to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Don’t miss the boat
Take the boat out and enjoy the water with your friends and family. Whether you’re a drifter or prefer high-speed adventuring (complete with water-skier or tuber in tow), you’ll find this easy access lake ideal for your water sport of choice.
Just keep swimming
Jump in the lake or jump in the pool; you’ll be glad you brought your cossie to this neck-of-the-woods. And who can resist the fun of a waterslide?
The big picture
It’s sheer size, coupled with its mirror-like surface and beautiful bushland backdrop, make Lake Burrendong a photographer’s dream. Bring out the camera and have a go capturing one of the park’s famous sunsets.
Walk the walk
Lake Burrendong State Park is full of fantastic bushwalks, including the walk over the wall at Burrendong Dam. The views of the lake and basin are definitely worth the effort.

Just breathe it in
