Not a lot of directions on the path ... either follow the stream (will have to take your shoes off) or climb the dunes (keep to your right). It’s very peaceful and the lake was not breathtaking, just average.

Just do it!
Pleasant easy walk 2hrs around the lake. Can walk in a shallow stream which is nice. Massive sand dunes for sand boarding. Nice little waterfall and swimming hole halfway around the lake. Good spot for lunch.
The carpark to the lake is quite small but you can park closer to Bethells beach as there are more spaces there. To get to the lake you need to go through the gain dunes first. We opted to climb the dunes at the start so that we could walk around it at the end of the walk. After walking up the dunes, just keep walking in that general direction and you should eventually arrive at the lake. The lake is quite large and does look quite nice. There were quite a few people swimming in it but be wary that the shore of the lake drops quite suddenly. There isn't much cover on the lake so it would be wise to bring some sort of shade to protect you from the sun if you're planning to stay long. After arriving at the lake we went to the trail that goes around the lake. It was quite scenic with nice views of the lake as well as the dunes. There is a larger area on the other side of the lake which heads to the waterfalls. The falls are multilayered and you are able to hop into the pools to cool down a bit. You can either back track or keep going along the lake and you eventually reach the pier for the lake. Instead of heading back up we just went around the dunes, back to the carpark. It was about a 2 hour walk to get around the lake. It seemed that most people just stopped at the lake shore and stayed around there. It was an enjoyable walk and it was fairly easy, the hardest part being walking up the giant dunes.
Beautiful warm water and the track via the stream is absolutely pleasantly. Extremely big DUNES. Many relaxing places under the trees Waterfall and pool
Walk from the carpark on the windy little path or in the little river all the way up to where the black aand dunes greet you. follow the river around the sand dunes u till you find the beginning of the lake. ot take a more challenging route up the sandunes for a beautiful view from above. Take a boagieboard and go down the sanddune landing right in the lake . great for families. Loved it so much
Really interesting place with sand dunes you can slide down and the lake right behind.
Such an awesome walk
