Lake Wartook

A tranquil reservoir in the Wartook Valley, with kangaroos often seen in the lakeside woodland. Good for picnics and watching the sunset.

Lake Wartook lies upstream of MacKenzie Falls and is a large reservoir in the north of the Grampians. Picnic areas and paths line the lakeshore, offering wide, quiet views, and you can see the whole lake from the Reed Lookout. The nearby town of Wartook has a few mountain cabin guesthouses. There is no swimming area on the lake, and water levels are higher in winter.
