Lake Fyans in the Victorian Wimmera

Lake Fyans is a small off stream reservoir with a small natural catchment that supplies water to Ararat and Stawell. The lake is one of the most popular recreational lakes in the region and is currently 98% full. I takes up about 5 square kilometres and is over 6 metres deep in parts but mostly from 3 to 4.5 metres deep.

There are two main swimming beaches at Lake Fyans, both with gently sloping, sandy shorelines and light tea coloured water. No camping or dogs are allowed outside the caravan park and it gets crazy busy in summer and during school holidays but mid week winter you can get it almost all to yourself.

Fyans is known for its stocked brown and rainbows trout as well as having redfin. None of which were evident today :-( But a great day to take the kayak for a run and do some exploring of this spot.

Parking is easy.
