Lake Cootharaba & Boreen Point
Lake Cootharaba
The largest lake in the Noosa River system, where the small lakeside village of Boreen Point has an old pub and a sailing club. It is the gateway to the Noosa Everglades.
Lake Cootharaba covers about 30 square km and is very shallow. The lakeside village of Boreen Point is peaceful, with a century-old pub, the Apollonian Hotel, a campground and a sailing club. Having roast pork in the pub's courtyard on Sunday afternoons is a local tradition. From here you can rent canoes or sailboats to cross the lake and enter the Noosa Everglades to the north. It is about 30 minutes' drive from Noosa Headland, making it suitable for a half-day trip or an overnight stay.
