LAKE GLENBAWN

The cool, clean water of this tranquil lake stretches along 20 winding kilometres on the upper reaches of the Hunter River through steep mountain foothills and lush pastoral country. The lake is up to 80 metres deep and contains more than double the water volume of Sydney Harbour.

 

The Lake Glenbawn State Park (adjacent to the Holiday Cottages) covers a large area of the Eastern and Southern foreshores and offers excellent amenities including a kiosk, boat hire, wide concrete boat ramp, extensive picnic and barbecue areas and tennis courts. Entry to the Park is free for Holiday Cottage guests.

Lake Glenbawn Holiday Cottages

Accepted as probably the best and most accessible Bass and Golden Perch fishery in NSW. Lake Glenbawn is regularly stocked with both popular species plus Silver Perch. In fact, Lake Glenbawn is the only major impoundment in NSW to be stocked with the much sought after Australian Bass. These hard hitting, brawling 'boomers' up to 56cms and 3-4 kilos are now attracting Bass fishing specialists from all over Australia.

The prolific and giant Golden Perch (Yellowbelly) have been caught up to 15 kilos and 5-10 kilos are not uncommon. For variety, there are Silver Perch, huge Eel-tailed Catfish, and the occasional monster Murray Cod (when in season).

All forms of fishing are permitted on the lake - boat trolling, spin casting, jigging, fly and bait fishing.

Phone or fax to the Holiday Cottages for a copy of the Lake Glenbawn Fishing Map and guide.

Fresh live yabby bait, lures and fishing tackle are available from the Holiday Cottages Office.

Bush walking
Many short and pretty walks around the Holiday Cottages property and the State Park or intermediate walks into the foothills and around the lake foreshores. For the more serious bush walkers, it's only a short drive to the "Polblue" tracks into and around the Barrington Range and Scone's famous Burning Mountain.

Excellent bushwalking

Kangaroos/Wildlife
Lake Glenbawn State Park is home to thousands of Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Wallabies. There is probably no better place in Australia to see mobs of Kangaroos at close quarters when they congregate at the lake foreshores and around the Holiday Cottages in the early morning or late evening
