The 4.25-kilometre Lake Benalla walking track is an easy, scenic loop that winds from calm water views to leafy botanical gardens, remnant river red gum forest and peaceful wetlands.
Along the way, explore the Indigenous Community Garden, wander across Jaycee Island beneath grand Moreton Bay figs and Bunya Bunya pines, and enjoy close-up encounters with the area's rich birdlife and native wildlife.
The lake walk also connects you with Benalla's vibrant arts and heritage. Stop by the Benalla Art Gallery, uncover local stories at the Costume and Kelly Museum, admire the colourful Gaudí-inspired ceramic mural, or try the interactive Benalla Sundial of Human Involvement, where your own shadow helps tell the time.
From dawn reflections to golden evening light, Lake Benalla is a beautiful place to stretch your legs, slow down and experience the natural charm of the city.
Please help care for this special environment by keeping rubbish out of waterways, managing pets responsibly and protecting local wildlife.
