Lake Daylesford has recently been revamped with the overflow area rebuilt, a bridge across it and a new rowing berth area. The Daylesford Lake is not natural but is actually man made having been originally gold diggings and then used as a Chinese Market Garden with their own village, Joss House and store. By the early In 1880's it was discussed to turn the area into a lake and construction began in 1927.

If you want to make friends at the lake take a loaf of bread for the ducks and swans - they are very friendly.

The Daylesford Lake has a cafe, a children's playground, undercover barbeque with seating and paddleboats on the weekends.

Not recommended for swimming due to very cold currents. It is a beautiful to walk around again and again. Views of the natural bush can be seen from one side while the other gives a view of the township beyond.

Around halfway you can venture down to the mineral water pumps and take a refreshing drink. Probably an acquired taste but well worth a try.

A walk around the lake takes approximately half an hour (an extra 15 minutes if you want to venture on the other side of the road bridge). Not great for the disabled due to uneven ground.

In the past the Daylesford Lake was lit up all the way around the path so a refreshing evening stroll could be enjoyed. A swimming area was provided with changing rooms - and it was a popular swimming destination.
