Lake Tinaroo Holiday Park is right at Lake Tinaroo (on the Atherton Tablelands in tropical North Queensland) and only a minute's walk down to the new pontoon. This area has a broad beach and is away from boating areas. A children's play area, basketball court and covered BBQ shelters are provided.

There are wheelchair accessible paths along the foreshore, with seating and many shady family picnic areas — all a hop, skip and jump from Lake Tinaroo Holiday Park.

With over 200km of shoreline, Lake Tinaroo has many swimming spots around the shoreline.

Lake Tinaroo is a very popular water sports area, with water skiing a favourite with the locals. The lake has broad stretches ideal for this where it's easy to find a spot for yourself or to get into some impromptu team games with fellow skiers.

The lake is always great for all kinds of boating fun, from windsurfing to full-on sailing— there's even a yacht club a couple of bays around from Lake Tinaroo Holiday Park, in a quiet little bay called Black Gully.

While fishing from the shore is easy, most people head out in tinnies and find sheltered little coves to drop a line.

Lake Tinaroo is famous for the world record breaking 38.75kg barramundi caught here a couple of years ago. Barramundi season is open all year and there is a restocking programme ensuring the Barra appeal continues. Barra fishing is so popular there is an October weekend dedicated to it each year — The Barra Bash. Last year's winning catch was just under the world record weight. So don't let the locals get all the fun.

Sooty Grunter are among the other varieties able to be caught. Fishing licences are required and are available from our General Store.

Lake Tinaroo has several excellent bushwalking tracks at various locations around the lake shore at Platypus Rock, Kauri Creek, Downfall Creek, Fong-On Bay, Lake Euramoo, Mobo Creek Crater, The Chimneys, and the Cathedral Fig Tree. They are easy, some short, some medium length. Some are wheelchair accessible.

This is the Cathedral Fig tree, a massive rainforest giant found at the end of a short wheelchair accessible track of Danbulla Drive.
