September 2019.
We have been to Lake Bellfield a few times for it’s scenic walk along the dam wall, which on the walk back gives you a clear view of the Grampians including The Pinnacle Lookout. On our last visit we came across the spillway, no not as pretty as the lake itself but my goodness the sound and sheer power was incredible. Lake Bellfield is an amazing lake it is the prettiest lake I have ever seen (and I have seen quite a few). We have not seen anyone taking advantage of the recreational activities that this lake can be used for such as canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming and fishing. I would imagine these would be more popular throughout the warmer months, the day’s we have been were low 20's and although the water looked inviting; I had no ambition to swim in it. You cannot swim in all areas of the lake as they are hazardous due to extremely cold temperatures and dangerous variations in water depth of the lake. The height of the lake is 55 metres so it would be incredibly cold water even on a hot day, perfect for the summer. Whilst it is relaxing to look at it the lake itself is much busier than it looks, it supplies water to Halls Gap and Pomonal townships. It doesn't stop there it is also the main water source for the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline system. #lakebellfield #water
