Lake Manchester day use area

4.3 combined rating50 Google

Lake Manchester is located west of Brisbane and was constructed in 1916, making it one of the region’s first dams. The lake was upgraded in 2008 to increase its storage capacity and is still part of our drinking water supply today. The Day Use Area has picnic tables and shelters and is a great starting point for bush walking, mountain biking and horse riding.
