Lake St Clair
COVID-19 UPDATE - LAKE ST CLAIR OPEN SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS
Nestled in the foothills of Mt Royal National Park, 25km north of Singleton, picturesque Lake St Clair is about 16km long and has a storage capacity of 283 megalitres - almost half that of Sydney Harbour. For decades, Lake St Clair has been a recreational hot-spot offering year-round opportunities for adventure and of course, endless summertime fun.
Located on an easy 30 minute drive from Singleton along Bridgman Road, Lake St Clair is a water playground for locals and visitors- whether it’s to relax and unwind, or for adventurer’s looking to turn up the action.
Lake St Clair was originally built as part of Glennies Creek Dam to help manage the water flows from the Hunter River and is named after the homestead that was lost beneath the water upon completion of the dam in 1983. Today, Lake St Clair is equally famous for being a prime boating, fishing, sailing and water-skiing playground for the entire Hunter region. Bookings are essential.

Camp Sites
Hikers have been visiting this scenic area in the heart of the heritage listed Tasmanian Wilderness area for decades, enjoying the day walks near the lake or the famed Overland Track.

It is the ideal location for both campers and bushwalkers or for schools, clubs and family bookings. There are powered and unpowered sites for tents, caravans and small motorhomes.
Powered sites are large enough to park a small or medium size caravan, but large caravans cannot be accommodated
(sites are 9m in length).

Yana kicked the bath lightly, the water began to play, ripples appeared and after a moment everything calmed down, the water again turned. Into a liquid mirror. Squatting down, Yana took water in her palms, it turned out to be cool, splashed on her face, the spray hit her chest and not expecting that she was.
So cold, her body shuddered.
