Lake Broadwater Environmental Park

Located 30km south-west of Dalby, Lake Broadwater is the perfect spot for a picnic under the shady river red and blue gums. Its peaceful setting among cypress pine, brigalow and eucalypts is a haven for water birds and native wildlife. When full, the lake can play host to boating, picnics, swimming and water sports. You can also watch a huge variety of water birds from the bird hide near the lake’s neck.

Caravan and camping facilities are found here, along with toilet and shower blocks and designated fireplaces.
