Lake Mcintyre — Attraction in Millicent

Lake McIntyre near Millicent SA is open daily from 8am till sunset. It was created in 1991 from an old quarry and is now home to 50 species of waterbirds. Other animals such as snakes, turtles and frogs call this area home. Dogs are not permitted to protect the native wildlife. There are three undercover picnic and BBQ areas in the main parking area as well as a number of standalone picnic tables and benches scattered around the reserve.

This place is amazing. The birdlife is fantastic and ever changing and offers the opportunity for birdwatching and photographing them. There is also other interesting fauna to see. It is amazing to think this was once a quarry which is now converted into one of the best manmade wetlands in the area. There is a walking trail around the lake which is flat and easy to travel. There are a number of seats along the way for you to either rest or enjoy the view. There are two bird hides which are often utilised. There are BBQ and basic toilet facilities, so there is ample opportunity to spend time there with friends to celebrate whatever you want. It is signposted so it is easy to find. If you are lucky, you might even see me there, as I visit it frequently. Highly recommend...
