⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful Hidden Gem – Middle Creek Reserve Middle Creek Reserve is such a beautiful and peaceful spot—perfect for a relaxing day out with family or friends. The natural beauty here is just stunning, with a total of 8.4km of walking trails that take you through bushland and along the lake. It’s pram-friendly too, so great for families with little ones! There’s a lot to do—fishing, cycling, picnics, and plenty of open space for kids to play. There are also BBQ spots which are perfect for a weekend lunch. It’s a very calm and quiet place that feels like a mini escape from the busy world. Parking can be tricky though. It’s $8 per hour or $35 for the day. I recommend checking for free street parking nearby or the larger parking lot if you’re planning to stay a while.

Such a beautiful, peaceful place surrounded by Forest, water. It makes me feel calmed and recharged. Just relaxing and enjoy fresh air. Toilet abit dirty.

This lake is perfect for beginners to go boating, whether it's in an inflatable boat, kayak, or small yacht. There are barbecue grills and restrooms along the shore. The restrooms are equipped with showers, but it seems that only cold water is available. There are signs reminding people to wear life jackets while boating and to refrain from drinking alcohol. Although I didn't see anyone pitching tents here, there were no signs prohibiting camping, so it should be allowed. For those with good physical fitness, you can start from here and paddle all the way to the mouth of the sea. The beach at the mouth of the sea is also very beautiful.

Nice place for riding bike or kayak. Good for dog walking and running. The lake is quiet and very nice for kayaking or SUP. There are car parks with 12h paid tickets. Couple of benches available for taking a break and having some snacks.

Great place to start a walk around the lagoon. It took us 3 hours to do the loop including stopping for a causal coffee. Fairly flat so it's an easy walk.
