Lake Canobolas
A lakeside leisure spot at the foot of Mount Canobolas, with a lake loop trail, picnic areas and a swimming area. Suitable for a family half-day outing.
Lake Canobolas is a reservoir created by a dam built in 1918. It is now a city recreation reserve. The lake loop trail is about 2.5 km long. The reserve has barbecue and picnic areas, a children's playground, and a swimming area open in summer. You can also go boating and fishing. The leaves around the lake turn beautiful colors in autumn.
Admission is free. It is about 10 km from Orange and can be combined with Mount Canobolas and the wineries into a day trip.
