Glorious Waterways of Forbes, Australia

Lake Forbes spans the heart of Forbes and is booming with activity and energy. Locals love ‘the Lake’ and it shows.

Studded with majestic fountains, interesting sculptures and quaint pedestrian bridges, Lake Forbess is a magnet for visitors, a popular place for families to gather and for friends to meet.

Walk or cycle the entire 10 kilometre journey, work out at one of the sets of outdoor fitness equipment or grab a friend and paddle an hour or two on the water.

Head to the ‘ski dam’! The Forbes Aquatic and Recreation Area provides a dynamic space and ideal conditions for water skiing, wakeboarding and inflatables. The banks of the ‘ski dam’ are easily accessible and sand based creating the perfect mix for the professional skier through to beginner.

Slow the pace of little and strong along the walking paths to discover bronze, steel and timber installations, or discover our aboriginal culture with a visit to the Wiradjuri Dreaming Centre. Enjoy a family day out under the shade of an all-abilities playground featuring a liberty swing and flying fox. Or keep the kids cool and have loads of fun at the water park featuring water sprays and delights for all ages.

As the sun lowers hang a hammock and swing in the breeze of the afternoon when only the sound of native birdlife competes for your attention.
