Natural Attractions

Lake Curalo Boardwalk is an easy, flat walk that circles the entire lake and joins with the Aslings Beach Maritime Walk.

The boardwalk and walking track meanders around the lake’s shore for approximately six-kilometres (return), through melaleuca forest, across salt marsh and onto the estuary mouth.

The lake is abundant in birdlife, so keep your eyes open for black swans, pelicans, hooded plovers and cormorants.

There are several picnic tables and picturesque bridges along the way.

Large parts of the walk are accessible for prams, wheelchairs and bikes with entry points from Eden Sportsground on Barclay Street, Lakeside Drive, and opposite the Eden Gateway Holiday Park.

Follow the boardwalk to the east to Aslings Beach and the Maritime Heritage Walk, where depictions of Eden’s historical links with the sea have been etched into the footpath.

Please note that the lake can sometimes be open to the ocean and therefore may not be suitable to be crossed. If unable to cross the estuary mouth, the walk is 3.75 kilometres one-way from the sports ground and around the lake to the estuary mouth.
