Bostock Reservoir is a gorgeous fishing and picnic destination in Ballan, where stunning scenery is accompanied by excellent visitor facilities.
A picnic area featuring multiple undercover barbecues and picnic tables sits along the shore of the reservoir, providing an amazing destination for family fishing trips. Walking and birdwatching are also popular here.
On calm days when the water is still the pine trees which surround the lake reflect in the water like a mirror image, much like at the beautiful
St George's Lake in Creswick, creating a great opportunity for photographers.
Please note that swimming is not permitted at Bostock Reservoir.
