West Lake is the western section of Lake Burley Griffin and is the lake’s largest water expanse, popular for boating, sailing, rowing, and other recreational water activities. The tree‑lined foreshores and natural landscape also support water‑bird life and is a picturesque segment of the walking and cycling route along the lake.

Daviesia down is the most flowy and enduro feeling trail at Bruce Ridge. While you can ride the official loop - Daviesia up and Daviesia Down, it’s worth starting from the very top of Reservoir Ridge Fire Trail for maximum good times.
