Fish Creek Bay Boathouse

Highlight • Lake

Boating is allowed on Lake McDonald and the boathouse has jetty.

Tip by

1.11 km

There are several places to swim in Lake McDonald. The bank slopes gently so that it is also possible for smaller children to get into the water. In addition, the view over the water to the mountain range is fantastic.
