Just a short 15-minute commute from the Nook, Lake Bellfield offers a peaceful escape and a beautiful contrast to the rugged peaks of the Grampians. Originating as a functional water storage project in the 1960s, this picturesque reservoir has gracefully transformed into a beloved sanctuary, perfect for leisurely picnics, tranquil evening strolls and the simple joys of canoeing and fishing.

Lake Bellfield is a testament to how utility can evolve into natural beauty. Its calm waters reflect the surrounding Gariwerd/Grampians peaks, creating a stunning backdrop for relaxation and gentle recreation. The accessible dam wall is flat and takes approximately 20 minutes to walk, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll that everyone can enjoy.

Lake Bellfield offers a refreshing change of pace, inviting you to slow down and appreciate the quieter side of Gariwerd. It’s a beautiful spot for easy recreation and pure relaxation.
