Create an itinerary including Lake McKenzie

The jewel of Fraser Island is Lake McKenzie, famous for its crystal blue waters and white sands. The area surrounding the lake is the most popular tourist attraction on the island, so it can get crowded during the middle of the day in peak season. The sands around the lake are composed of white silica, and the lake's purity makes it unsuitable for most species. You can swim in this clean water, relax on the sandy beach, or explore the forest surrounding it. A camping area and a picnic area are nearby, along with barbecues. Near the lake is a popular bush trail, where you can see giant fern trees. Lake McKenzie is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our , custom trip planner Edition.

Visited on Friday 24th February. What a wonderful place to visit. So many people enjoying themselves there in the nice clear water.

Lake Mckenzie is absolutely breathtaking, the crystal clear freshwater and unique sand make this the perfect place to swim. Ammenities and up at the car park with about a 100metre walk to the water.
