Goldfields Reservoir is a peaceful lake on the outskirts of Maryborough which features a picnic area, nature playground, and a scenic walking track. This is a popular spot for swimming, fishing, picnicking and bushwalking.
Goldfields Reservoir is a local favourite for swimming. The best swimming area is located at the boat ramp and around the main picnic / parking area, but there are a few other good spots around the reservoir as well.
The walking track circles the entire reservoir, and is about a 1.7 km easy, pram friendly, scenic walk. The track features multiple bridges, interesting hand made wooden barriers, wetland areas and water views. Old gold diggings line the tracks around the far end of the reservoir, so stick to the path and be aware of the dangers of mine shafts.
