One of the best places to visit in the S. Eastern suburbs. However, it has a beautiful track to ride your bike with peace and joy beside the lake. Overall, This spot is convenient to walk, swim & have picnic or BBQ to enjoy the nature with kangaroo.

Fantastic place to visit for some fresh air and outdoors fun. Swimming and sailing, paddleboarding etc are allowed in designated areas. A small jetty for disabled sailors and a short distance away is a small beach for paddling and swimming in the lake. Lots of grassed areas for running around, ball games etc. Heaps of free parking in several bitumen parking areas, lots of picnic tables, frequently with pretty views, some right down by the water are sprinkled throughout the park, located under a forest of shady trees. Free BBQs are also located close to many of the picnic areas. Heaps of native flowering plants in season, Birdlife etc. There a lot of gently graded, shady walking trails with views of the lake and surrounding bush, most suitable for prams and wheelchairs. This is a lake set in natural bush surrounds and the water and nearby areas are unfenced, so beware of children wandering and perhaps falling into the water. This lake park is EXTREMELY popular and on warm days, school holidays, weekends etc, parking is frequently full and all tables, BBQs etc will be occupied and entry can be difficult.

Great place to walk or just to have a good old fashioned picnic next to the water. The walk is great and easy. Nice sandy path all round which is good on feet. You will see kangaroos at the very least. Some slippery places due to recent rain. Runners are ok.

Brilliant place for walks and trail running. Disappointing the amount of “people” that leave their rubbish in the park is the only negative, but that isn’t the parks fault! Finding the hidden trails at Lysterfield is the key to unlocking boss level Lysty.

Lovely and calm place. This place is great for mountain biking. Easy Family trails for all to enjoy around the lake and parkland. You can do canoeing, sailing, Paddle boating. But dogs and other pet are not allowed.

NICE PLACE- RELAXING, KANGAROOS ETC

Nice place

Beautiful location an hour's drive from Melbourne CBD for a picnic. Great for long walks and mountain bike trails.

The lake circuit is lovely, but no real views of the water and can be quite busy, lots of kangaroos though. Beware there's only one public toilet right at entrance. Great parking and there's a playground and barbecues. Bike trails and jumps.

Super busy especially when the weather is nice , beautiful lake and trees are plenty. Very serene nature place . Also you will see lots of birds and kangaroos if you're lucky .

Great day out! Got to see some kangeroos and lots of wildlife. Unfortunately the toilets had seen better days and no ice cream 😭

Great walking track. Little windy in August- September. Perfect in October - November. Picnic and BBQ. Loads of kangaroo.

A good place to enjoy the water and nature. Wild kangaroos will be walking pass. Rec to arrive early to have a parking space as it is popular. Looks like there is a sign said dog is not allowed.

Very good place for family ..I got a lot of beautiful pictures and looking an amazing surrounding this area...

Barbeques, kangaroos, Boating, walking areas great place.

This is a beautiful spot to walk swim have a picnic enjoy nature there are bbq facilities and toilets. This park is still open during 2020 Corona virus restrictions. Many different trails to walk and it has mountain bike trails which are very popular.

Great for mountain biking, walking and photography

really nice view great area for picnics. amazing sunset...

Nice place to spend a day. Great walk.

Very pleasant relaxing place to go.

Great place for a picnic. No bins around, so remember to bring your own bin bags for rubbish.

Big park. Lots of MTB trails. Great for walking or hiking.

Lysterfield park offers a host of choices for outdoor activities. It is particularly suitable for walking, running, biking, mountain biking, canoeing, kayaking and swimming. The serenity of the lake offers a welcome break from the busy city life. Interestingly, the beautiful water body also inspires social events. The space right in front of the main parking area is equipped with barbecue cooktops, tables and places to sit/relax. Will definitely recommend this lake and the surroundings to all the nature-lovers. With its beautiful view, wildlife and all the outdoor activities options, it's trully a remarkable place to explore.

It's alright for a city park. Personally not my cup of tea. Very VERY busy. Gotta stand in line for a bbq.

Amazing spot

It’s freedom full ❤️

Nice quick loop for cycling, walking and mtb. I been hitting this trail for years and still fun.

Gorgeous lake, perfect for paddle boarding

Nice area which is ideal for BBQ with toilets and lots of walking tracks. Unfortunately they don't allow dogs.

One of the Best places to go out as a family in East suburbs

Excellent place for a walk, swim, picnic. Lots of Roos around.

This beautiful piece of nature caters for everything from swimming to water activities, bbqs, picnics, bike riding, hiking to running & walking etc etc, come with your friends or your family, great for kids - it’s a great outdoor area for all to enjoy…. If you’re in the area definitely check it out.

Nice place for both exercise and relaxation.

Beautiful scenery, animals all around and great trails, big amount of picnic tables overall great place to escape and just enjoy nature ❤️🌺

It is a great place for biking, walking, boating, enjoying lake view and watching wildlife kangaroos. Surprisingly, it's not dog friendly

It's a very beautiful and complete spot to enjoy your time with family and friends. You can enjoy the scenery while barbecuing, swimming, or hiking. If you're lucky, besides finding many birds, you can also meet wild kangaroos there.

Mtb tracks poorly maintained

I absolutely love the walking track at the park! The beautiful views and nature surrounding it make it such a therapeutic experience. Walking alongside kangaroos, wallabies, and various bird species is truly amazing. It's the perfect spot for a family gathering, BBQ, or picnic. Enjoying nature and quality time with loved ones, what could be better?

Great for a picnic and a swim with the family.

Excellent spot to get back to nature any time of the year. Good facilities for a picnic or BBQ followed by a swim in the lake. Kangaroos are often spotted in the shady areas during the middle of the day and there is a BMX track for the kids.

Great scenery, excellent picnic facilities and mountain biking/bushwalking tracks make this a must visit destination in Victoria.

Beautiful place for a walk, jog a sit by the lake with a book:) Watch out for kangaroos.

Beautiful walking track

Really nice place, but it is a shame that I can't bring my pooch.

BBQ area and plenty of car park. Good for cycling and boats

Nice place for power naps

This park is perfect for families for day picnics and outings. It has spacious designated parking areas, BBQ & swimming areas, different tracks for runners and cycling and a variety of birds, animals and plant life to witness directly. Depending upon the weather, this place can elicit different moods and emotions. If you want to experience some solitude and stillness in/with Mother nature's bosom, my suggestion would be to visit here in the early morning hours. Cheers & enjoy your walk in the woods.

Great place for water activities

Some great mtb tracks here! Place also has drinking water, barbecues and toilets.

Hmm lovely

Loves bit of Lysterfield lake. Picnics, mountain biking, a bit of a swim...

Clean and organised

Wonderful place to take the family. Great riding. Not dog friendly.

Great lake for a picnic. Great park for a Mountain bike ride.

Great for mountain bike riding

Always really good has great facilities.

Good walks, abundant wildlife & regular police patrols.

Beautiful lake!!

Lovely easy walk, Plenty of wildlife. Very busy but has a massive carpark so no worries.

An awesome place to do bbq with family and friends and boating 🚣‍♀️ if you enjoy that. You can also go for a walk in the walking tracks and cycling. Too bad no fishing is allowed however its still great place for weekends outings.

One of the best places around Melbourne. You can swim, walk, make a barbie. Fantastic

Beautiful lake

Beautiful place for picnic or day trip with big park having lots of places for family gathering

Great place to paddle a kayak/canoe especially for beginners. Clean toilets, clear water (in the shallows) and plenty of car parking. weekendwithbevoblog.blogspot.com

Nice amenities. Good space. Parking is a problem when busy.

Really great place for picnic

Nice place to go for a walk/run around the lake. About an hour and a half at a good walking speed.

Such tranquility such calmness and serene vibes all over the place. Just sit alone there near water and your quiet will resonate with the waves touching shore.

Nice work

So pretty

Great walks, bike tracks and relaxing picnic areas

Best place to kayak or sail a small boat

Love it, kids de had an absolute ballvswimm Ng and playing here

A great place to kayak!

Best time of day when wild life come out.

Truly a magical place

Lysterfield Lake has been a family favourite of ours for years. Biking, walking, the free BBQs, and enjoying nature. We were there yesterday and it was so disappointing to see the amount of people ignoring basic rules, no dogs, and take your rubbish with you. I have never seen so much rubbish there in the 8 years I have enjoyed the place. Please everyone look after our conversation areas so that future generations can still enjoy a free fun day out.

Nice nature and perfect relaxing area. No swimming!! Perfect for biking and hiking.

Very large lake with a small beach and boat launching area. (Non powered boats). Plenty of parking, trailer parking and horse float parking. Plenty of kangaroos at dusk. Great place to take a kayak or canoe and just enjoy the peacefulness of being on the water.

Best place for kayaking,visitors can spend quality time with families and friends

Such a nice place to spend time with friends and family. I personally recommend to go once. Be ready, bring your tents, boats, chairs, food and just go. Good place for picnic.

(Translated by Google) Quiet, natural (Original) เงียบสงบเป็นธรรมชาติ

Such a beautiful lake. Cutest wildlife

I love these place !

Been trying fishing here but didn't catch one yet..

A nice little group of lakes to take a walk around. Good but small playground for the kids. Lakes do get stocked with fish at certain times of the year

Very poor quality water do t fist there as oil has been dumped in the lakes

Beautiful lake!

Nice huge place with water view

A very nice quite place to visit if you’re in S.E suburbs. It’s a hidden gem, not many people know of. Wonderful place for picnic to enjoy almost everything from bbq, walking, cycling, boating, feeding ducks, watching kangaroos, watch sunset and more

relaxing atmosphere

Was super busy. Was just a quite rest stop. Didn't stay long.

Beautiful scenery. Easy walks. Kangaroos... Love it there

Exercise machines for people to do sports Please

Lots of tracks to walk on. Easy to walk. Lots of people were riding bikes here. Horse riding friendly too. Beautiful lake view. Some wild kangaroos were busy eating the grass.

🚲🚲🚲

Peaceful absolutely beautiful!

NO DOGS ALLOWED??! Seriously! What kind of park doesn’t allow dogs.

A good spot in the south east for Family Picnic.

Great Bbq place for summer.

This place is where I go to get away beautiful place to go walking and Yes I have jumped in the water after being all hot and sweaty from my hike but when I went to the toilets they were covered in rubbish from people dumping their wrappers and nappies and all rubbish which is very disappointing and very smelly toilets and still I see people bringing their dogs and horses on the tracks Also a lot of used masks from Covid in bushes and on the grounds of this park but I still continue going their

Lovely space

One of the few lakes that you can swim in Victoria.

Family friendly place, good parking with plenty of BBQ and tables to relax and enjoy. Walking track and mountain biking area are a plus.

Nice area for activity : 14Km walk , boating， BBQ, taking photography

Stunning and Calming spot, it has great walking tracks and very nice views. Kangaroos can usually be found here too. Nice picnic areas and gas stoves are available on some spots. Easy kayak access and nice spot to cool off during a hot summer day.

A hidden gem, great walking trails, hiking, biking and even a beach front for a family fun day with bbq areas to top of a great day out.

An amazing place to visit, and perfect for walks, bike riding, hiking, and Even have designated horse float parking, tie ups, and horse riding trails. Lots of wildlife to spot and perfect for those who love to get nature photographs, and perfect to draw/sketch from life/photos. I find it a beautiful and peaceful place to go, with facilities, including barbecues, toilets, and fountains for water. There are no bins, to encourage us to take our rubbish home, but I think it is having a negative result. They have a small dock also to launch canoes off, which is gated for safety reasons. Key can be obtained from the Park Ranger. Plenty of kangaroos and beautiful water to swim in.

Great place to mountain bike (amazing range of tracks) or walk or kayak or picnic. Lots of wallabies around. See video.

Perfect place to enjoy with kids and bbq. You can see kangaroos easily.

Ideal for paddleboarding and kayaking. It's a good sized lake that great for exploring.

Great Place. Off the beaten track but very well kept. Pristine nature on display with so many walking and riding paths to choose from you'll have trouble making up your mind and did I mention super fun, you don't get to see Echidnas every day.... winning.

5 star for Jon's panorama work. Bravo!
