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.

**Camping is prohibited.

If the lake is vacant, users may access the lake outside of the usage times specified above, provided they immediately exit the lake when a designated vessel requires access.

Lake Hamilton Walking Track

The Lake Hamilton Walking Track is open at all times and has a range of facilities and activities to suit everyone. 

There are 10 kilometres of shared trail around the lake and along the Grange Burn, perfect for running, walking or bike riding and a great way to experience the beauty of Lake Hamilton. The regularly maintained track winds its way around the whole of the lake and extends along the Grange Burn.

Track markers are located every 500m commencing at the Hamilton Spillway entry point for training enthusiasts combined with eight outdoor resistance training stations spaced in key positions around the lake track. 

The track is home to a major annual fun run in November, Weekly Free 5km Timed Run and is also used for regional cross-country events.
