Wooroonook Lakes
A natural lake that used to dry up during poor rainfall years, it’s now linked to the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline so it’s kept to a good level for boating and swimming all year round. The main lake features a floating jetty, toilets, showers and electric BBQs. Powered sites are available along with general camping. Payment is made on an honesty system with a donation box next to the amenity block at the entrance. The lakes are located 14k from Charlton, on your left, along the Borung Hwy towards Donald.
