An easy walk with some signage sharing information about the nature and history of the area. The lake is beautiful and lots of bird life. From the information on the first board, we thought we would 2 a bit about the eruption but nothing came up afterwards. Easy walk for kids but the path can be a bit narrow after the boardwalk for a pram

Peaceful campground right next to the lake. Take a refreshing swim in the morning, noon or in the evening. Enjoy the beautiful sky at night. You will see a lot of stars and shooting stars.
