Cobden Lake
Cobden Lake, right in the centre of Cobden, is a peaceful haven surrounded by lush greenery and calm waters.
Cobden Lake, fed by Cobden Creek, is a tranquil spot featuring a paved walking path and viewing platforms around its circumference. Shaded by mature trees and surrounded by well-maintained parkland, it’s a perfect place to relax, picnic, or simply enjoy the serene reflections on the water.
Anglers will appreciate that the lake is stocked with trout, and Cobden’s strong angling tradition dates back to the formation of its fishing club in 1926. It’s a fantastic spot for both seasoned fishers and those looking to cast their line for the first time.
If you’re in town and fancy a coffee and a stroll, Cobden Lake is just a short walk from the town centre.
The area is well-equipped with BBQ facilities, picnic tables, two playgrounds, and nearby toilets. Storyboards placed throughout the park tell the unique “Cobden Story,” adding a cultural touch to your visit. With plenty to offer for families, couples, or solo travellers, Cobden Lake is an ideal stop on your next visit to the region.
