5 /5 Gareth and Nurhayati Coxhead: If you love the outdoors, bush walks and watching wildlife bounce past you then Lysterfield lake is your destination. Family friendly, with toilets, bar b queen areas ( more then one) and space to throw down your blanket, put your head down and take a rest while the kids chase each other.
If your a keen walker then drive to the Mountain Bike end , off Hallem/ Hampton Park road, just keep going straight till you get to the big green water tank. Then turn right and park at the end of the road. You can choose a 5km walk ro walk to the lake and around it back to the M.T.B carport which takes about 2 hours and is about 10km to 11km, but nit that exhausting, its merely a walk in the park.
Ive been walking it for about 2 or 3 years, even at night time.on a full moon, really good for the mental heath as well as physical fitness. Its 2 hours your body and mind will thank you for.
Enjoy and hopefully see you out there.
