Description:
The Princes Highway crosses the eastern arm of Burrill Lake but only a small portion of the lake can be seen on this drive past. The main body of the lake and the associated Stony Creek stretch almost to the town of Milton. While there is development on the eastern arm, most of the rest retains a natural bushland feel, with nice views across the lake to Pigeon House Mountain. This paddle route explores Stony Creek and then the western basin, but can be shortened to any length desired. Drop in a line for an opportunity to catch bream, trevally and flathead, or perhaps garfish in the shallow water further up the creek.
