Less than 1 km down the road. Perfect for a refreshing dip in the summer or you can bring a fishing rod and fish off the store.
Head up Finlayson View Place and turn left at the top of the hill on to Goldstream Heights. Continue straight past Trail Way and about 200 meters on your left you'll see a silver gate with a yellow and black check sign on it. The lake is about 50m away from the gate.
