Lake Eppalock

Lake Eppalock is a reservoir in Victoria formed by a dam across the Campaspe River, creating an expansive body of water surrounded by gentle hills. The lake offers various recreational opportunities and serves as an important water storage facility for the region.

The reservoir was created in the 1920s through the construction of a dam and became part of Victoria's water management system for agricultural development. The project secured water supply for surrounding communities and farming operations across the region.

The lakeshore is accessible at several points and provides spots for picnicking, fishing, and water activities. It is helpful to check conditions beforehand since water levels vary with the seasons.

The lake offers unexpected opportunities for birdwatching, as various migratory birds visit the area during certain seasons. Many visitors overlook this wildlife, which makes the water body an interesting spot for nature exploration.
