Beaufort Lake is a fantastic reservoir for swimming, boating, walking and picnics. Bring a barbecue lunch and take a scenic walk around Beaufort Lake, enjoying the informative Koori Art Trail along the way.
The lake's boat ramp and main picnic area sits behind the Goldfields Recreation Area off Skipton Road. A free electric barbecue sits beneath a shelter, and a picnic table overlooks the water.
Picnics at Lake Beaufort
Pack a picnic or barbecue lunch and head for Beaufort Lake, where an undercover barbecue and lake-side picnic table make this a fantastic spot for a relaxing lunch by the water!
Two barbecues are set in a single bench beneath the shelter, and the picnic table is located a short distance away by the lake shore.
As there is only one picnic table here, it is a good idea to bring your own camp chairs and maybe even camp table, just in case.

Koori Art Trail
We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of this land, the Wadawurrung people.
The Koori Art Trail is located around Beafort Lake and is an initiative of HM Prison Langi Kal Kal on behalf of the Department of Justice and Regulation and is supported by the Pyrenees Shire Council. The artwork by indigenous prisoners is proved to the Beaufort community and visitors to celebrate the indigenous history of this country.
