Woolgoolga Lake

Woolgoolga Lake is a serene spot on the north coast that offers a perfect retreat for a relaxing day out.

It boasts a spacious and family-friendly picnic area shaded by eucalypts and paperbarks. You can enjoy a picnic or barbecue while surrounded by the natural beauty of the lake. The calm waters of Woolgoolga Lake make it an excellent spot for paddling, swimming, fishing, or simply floating along on a lilo. Birdwatchers will appreciate the diverse range of birdlife that can be found here, including Pacific black ducks, egrets, herons, and pelicans. If you visit at low tide, you can take a leisurely walk across the mouth of the lake and onto the beach, providing a unique experience. Woolgoolga Lake is ideal for a day trip any time of year, but it is best to visit on weekdays to avoid the crowds. You can easily reach the lake by driving, as it is around 25 minutes north of Coffs Harbour or an hour south of Grafton. Parking is available onsite.
