Lake Lyell Recreation Park

Book Direct with the Owner at Lake Lyell Recreation Park with Hotel Find in Lithgow, for all your Attraction and travel needs.

Lake Lyell is a beautiful destination within two hours drive from Sydney. It provides visitors with access to the lake via a concrete boat ramp for waterskiing, fishing, kayaking and general boating. The park has both powered and unpowered sites, hot showers, free barbecues, and a childrens' playground. It is a magnificent bush setting, and only 10 minutes from Lithgow. The park also has a number of picnic tables, and walking tracks. While catering for overnight visitors, day visitors are also welcome. Lake Lyell provides cooling water for both Wallerawang and Mount Piper Power Stations. The Lake is connected to Wallerawang Lake by pipeline and hence to Wallerawang and Mount Piper Stations. Water is pumped from Lake Lyell Dam on the Cox's River, about 20 kilometres from the power station to the Thompsons Creek Dam, close to Mount Piper, which provides an additional 27,000 mega litres of cooling water.

We now offer kayak hire!

Lake Lyell is now the home of Aqua Blitz, an inflatable water park featuring monkey bars,
trampoline, rock climbing wall, slides and much more! Fun for the whole family to enjoy.
