Pack a picnic or barbecue lunch and spend an afternoon at the Rokewood Lagoon, a gorgeous swimming hole run by community volunteers just half an hour from Ballarat. The picturesque lagoon is surrounded by picnic facilities, gardens and bench seating, with plenty of shade available.
This is a great spot for all ages and swimming abilities! A shallow beach area makes a great spot for young children to have a splash, while the deeper areas are great for swimming and floating on pool inflatables.
An electric barbecue area overlooks the water, picnic tables provide plenty of spots to settle in for lunch, and a large empty shelter makes a great place to set up your own tables and chairs.
Just remember to pop in to the general store and pay the small entry fee (or grab a season pass) before you go. Currently (January 2021) the prices are:
- Adult: $4
- Child: $2
- Family season pass (2 adults 4 children): $35
- Single season pass: $10
Dogs are not allowed at the Rokewood Swimming Lagoon.
