Lake Catani
A high-country lake on the Mount Buffalo Plateau, ringed by snow gums and granite boulders, with summer boating, swimming and camping.
Lake Catani is a man-made lake formed in 1910 by a dam on the Mount Buffalo Plateau, at about 1,300 metres above sea level. Snow gum forests and rounded granite boulders surround it, and its clear, still waters reflect the scenery beautifully. The lakeside walking track is about 4 km, flat and easy. In summer you can swim and paddle a canoe on the lake. The lakeside campground is one of Victoria's most popular high-country campsites (book ahead through Parks Victoria). It is a few minutes' drive from the old Mount Buffalo Chalet and is often combined with the Gorge Lookout and The Horn on the same day.
