Description
490ha.

Lake Barrine 100ha.

Lake Eacham 40ha.

Both Lake Barrine and Lake Eacham are volcanic crater lakes some 60m deep, probably formed when ground water in the volcano was ejected in a violent explosion. They are surrounded by dense tropical rain forest, through which there are beautiful walking trails round the lakes. In Lake Eacham live a number of snapping turtles that like to be fed by visitors. Both lakes are good swimming spots, and there are facilities for boating on Lake Barrine.
