More than just a walk
Explore a scenic circuit where tranquil water views, playgrounds and picnic spaces create the perfect day out.
Looking for an easy outdoor adventure that the whole family can enjoy?
The Brightwater 'Loop the Lake' Walk is a scenic 3.5km circuit that showcases the best of this vibrant waterfront community, combining beautiful lake views, family-friendly pathways and plenty of places to stop and relax along the way.
Following the shoreline of Brightwater Lake, the flat, sealed trail is popular with walkers, runners, cyclists and families. The easy terrain makes it an excellent choice for children learning to ride longer distances, while those on foot can enjoy a leisurely circuit surrounded by water and open green space.
One of the great features of the trail is the variety of attractions along the route. Visitors will discover playgrounds, picnic areas and outdoor fitness stations, making it easy to turn a simple walk into a morning or afternoon adventure.
For those who enjoy being on the water, several lake access points also provide opportunities to launch a paddle craft and experience the lake from a different perspective.
Suitability
This 3.5km circuit is suitable for walkers, families and beginner riders looking for an easy and accessible outdoor experience. Dogs are welcome on-lead throughout the trail, excluding playground areas.
