Lake Hamilton

Lake Hamilton is one of the Southern Grampians Shire's greatest assets.

Created in 1977 by forming of a clay embankment across Grange Burn, the Lake receives water from the agricultural land upstream of Hamilton and stormwater drains which run from the streets of Hamilton directly into the Lake.

Lake Hamilton and its surrounds are popular among residents and visitors alike for picnics, walking and cycling. The Lake is also used by individuals and sporting groups for water based activities including swimming, sailing, skiing, fishing, diving, and rowing.
