About Lake Eacham, Crater Lakes National Park
A serene blue lake surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, Lake Eacham is part of Crater Lakes National Park. Take a refreshing dip and then relax in the shade, or wander along the viewing decks for uninterrupted water views. The lake is a maar—a volcanic crater formed by massive explosions from the superheating of groundwater. The crater has filled with water, forming a lake 65m deep. Stroll around the 3km track encircling the crater lake for forest-fringed views of the lake . You'll be surrounded by birdsong as the lake's birds call, twitter, screech and sing from the treetops. Over 180 bird species have been recorded from the rainforest. Look for musky rat-kangaroos—these small, chocolate-coloured macropods are often seen during the day. Learn about the rainforest and animals as you wriggle like a snake, search for dragons and create amazing creatures on the fun active Lake Eacham children's walk. Paddle a kayak or canoe on the smooth waters of the lake, keeping an eye out below for curious turtles and schools of fish.
