This lake is a haven for birds and wildlife. Facilities include hot solar showers, flushing toilets, picnic shelter, tables & water tank. Dogs are allowed. The site is maintained by the Lions Club and donations can be left at Goroke IGA to help support the maintenance. Please take your rubbish with you.

Nearby:
The GrainCorp Silo Art (located in Goroke meaning magpie) features the magpie, kookaburra and galah. The artwork by renowned bird artist Geoffrey Carran, includes a dopper fence, translucent sky, running emus and incredible detail including smaller paintings within the birds eye. 

​In 1864 three children, Isaac, Jane and Frank Duff, lost their way after being sent to find heath for broom-making. The children were found by an Aboriginal tracker nine days later. The story, ‘Lost in the bush’, became a classic Australian film and book. There is a Jane Duff memorial on the Goroke-Horsham Road. The Horsham Silo pays tribute to this story.

The Goroke Nature Play Space features a playground and picnic tables. The Goroke Apex Accommodation Park is located next to the community swimming pool. The main street features a war memorial and the Memorial Hall contains a photographic display and memorabilia. The town has a pub, takeaway, supermarket and garage.
