Renowned for its beauty and clear water, Blue Lake is the centrepiece of Blue Lake National Park, which covers 501 hectares on North Stradbroke Island. One of two major lakes on the island, its Aboriginal name means, "silent pool" and the surroundings are idyllic. Early morning and dusk are the best times to see wildlife of the area, including the rare golden wallaby. Access to the lake is via a 2.7-kilometre walking trail, but four-wheel-drive access is available to within 200 metres. After a walk, the cool waters of the lake are extremely refreshing.
