The northern recreational area has BBQs and picnic tables scattered around, a nice place to have a picnic lunch with the family with a view over the lake. There are lots of grassed areas, but most of it is on sloped hills down to the lake’s shore. A playground will help keep the kids entertained while sausages are cooking on the BBQ.

A visit to Maleny Dairies will not only prove that milk comes from cows (not cartons) but that it tastes good! The milk, yoghurt and ice cream can be tasted and bought at the farm shop. You can also join a farm tour, ride a tractor and see the cows milked at 3 pm.
