Lake Sambell Walk Beechworth

Enjoy a gentle walk around Beechworth's historic Lake Sambell, watch the early morning steam rise from the lake, feed the ducks of watch the rich sunsets from near the banks of the caravan park.

You can start this walk anywhere around the lake. To complete a circuit of the lake will take about 30 minutes (depending on stops) and is an easy walk.

If you have driven, park your car at the 'beach' and playground area. Facing the lake you will see a track that heads off to the left. Follow this, it will take you around the top of the lake and towards the caravan park.

As you approach the caravan park you will see the small pond to your right. Follow the path which is between the lake and the pond. While only short, this path has steep steps and can get muddy after rainfalls. The path is clearly marked and keeps you close to the lake, passing the caravan camping area on your right. There are a few steps to climb before following the path, maybe stopping to look out from the bird watching hide. Continue on this path and decend the steps towards the lake before crossing a small uneven and unmade clay and gravel path. At the end of this path is a step set of steps which will lead you back to the road. Be careful here as there are no footpaths. Once back on the road follow it for 200 metres. You will find a vacant patch of land (not the one at the end of the step steps).


You will now be following the road looking for the second vacant block of land. As you approach you will see a narrow unmade path following the fenceline back towards the lake. Take this path and it will take you to the back of the houses and along the lake until you loop back towards where you began.
