Gum Bend Lake will be reopening for the season this Saturday 5 October after major improvements! ☀️

Over the winter months, Lachlan Shire Council transformed the foreshore by removing the old tyre bank and bringing in fresh sand to create a beach-like experience. The project jointly funded by the NSW Government's Regional Tourism Activation Fund and Lachlan Shire Council enhances the appeal of the lake precinct. 

Other works undertaken by Lachlan Shire Council over the past 5 years:
- Construction of  concrete walking and cycling paths around the lake
- New toilet and amenity buildings
- Upgrade of playground equipment
- Construction of a  large shade structure with covered BBQ and picnic areas

Gum Bend Lake is the perfect spot for water skiing, camping, picnicking, bird watching, and fishing by the Lachlan River. 

Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is the ideal place for outdoor adventure and relaxation, so come visit our newly improved Gum Bend Lake!
