Ideal for families and picnics
The shallow water is great for toddlers and young families. There’s much to explore along the meandering natural trails.
The lakeside’s grassy areas invite you to BYO picnic and ballgames. The shady trees welcome you to stretch out for a snooze.
Lake Weyba fishing
Home to whiting, flathead, bream, trevally and mud crabs, Lake Weyba is a dream for fishing.
Some parts of the lake are deep enough for boating. Bring the tinnie or hire a boat and fishing gear from Noosa. In between the fish biting, you’ll be mesmerised by the birds and wildlife.
The shallow waters are the perfect spot for ‘L’ plate wind surfers and paddle boarders.
When the wind is up, watch or join the kite surfers skim across the water, defying gravity with their air born tricks.
Nearby Noosa Horse Riding offer trail rides through the lake’s waters and surrounds.
There are no hire facilities at the lake so BYO water craft or check out the local hire places. Hire companies will provide canoes, paddle boards and pushbikes to enhance your experience of the lake.
