Lake William Hovell is one our favourites to visit all year round in the King Valley, north east Victoria.

The lake is located at the top of the King River approximately 18km from Cheshunt, offering picturesque views of the surrounding national park mountains plus lots of recreational activities for families to do.

Theres’s picnic areas with free to use barbecue facilities, walking and hiking paths, swimming areas, fishing, canoeing and four wheel driving tracks.

The lake contains trout, redfin and some macquarie perch, and the size can surprise, with trout to 3kg and some healthy reddies in the warmer months.
