Area: 6.5ha.
Facilities: A 1.36km sealed walking and cycling track encircles the reservoir. Modern facilities include electric barbeques, picnic tables and toilets.
Access: The reservoir is located 3km southeast of central Bendigo with excellent road and pedestrian access from Reservoir Road and Crook Street.
Managed by the City of Greater Bendigo Council (external link), this picturesque lake is surrounded by reserves of indigenous vegetation. The reservoir is linked to the
Bendigo Bushland Trail and is located within a larger reserve network incorporating Strathdale Park Recreation Reserve and Grassy Flat Creek Reserve.
Most of the shoreline is accessible to anglers with the deeper sections of water to be found along the northern bank. Fishing is not permitted in a conservation area which has been established at the southern end of the lake, which offers a hide for bird-watching enthusiasts.
Fish you may catch:
- Rainbow trout (regularly stocked by Fisheries Victoria)
- Redfin, and tench
Fishing methods include baits fished on the bottom with as little sinker weight as possible, and small lures for redfin and trout.
Kennington Reservoir may be subject to occasional closures due to poor water quality. For current conditions or general enquiries check with the City of Greater Bendigo on 5434 6000.
