Lake Lyell is a beautiful destination within two hours drive from Sydney. It provides visitors with access to the lake via a concrete boat ramp for waterskiing, fishing, kayaking and general boating. The park has both powered and unpowered sites, hot showers, free barbecues, and a childrens' playground. It is a magnificent bush setting, and only 10 minutes from Lithgow. The park also has a number of picnic tables, and walking tracks. While catering for overnight visitors, day visitors are also welcome. Lake Lyell provides cooling water for both Wallerawang and Mount Piper Power Stations. The Lake is connected to Wallerawang Lake by pipeline and hence to Wallerawang and Mount Piper Stations. Water is pumped from Lake Lyell Dam on the Cox's River, about 20 kilometres from the power station to the Thompsons Creek Dam, close to Mount Piper, which provides an additional 27,000 mega litres of cooling water.
We now offer kayak hire!
Lake Lyell is now the home of Aqua Blitz, an inflatable water park featuring monkey bars,

The Mount Victoria and District Historical Society Museum has sixteen rooms, large and small, housing an amazing collection of artefacts from Australia and exotic shores beyond. From prehistoric times through to early exploration, convict days to more recent times the collection is multifaceted.
Early farming tools and dairy utensils, natural history, laundry and kitchenware, the local mining industry, early photographic equipment and musical instruments. Furniture and fashion are also on view, The Railway Refreshment Room tableware is on display, as well as a schoolroom and clothing from the 19th century.
Don't miss the technology room nor the Papua New Guinean dioramas. Dioramas and many amazing natural history items were bequeathed to the Society by Mel Ward (Charles Melbourne Ward) actor, naturalist and marine collector, 1903-1966. His Gallery of Natural History and Native Art was based in a long, narrow fibro building at the Hydro Majestic Hotel, Medlow Bath.
Local history publications and souvenirs are available for purchase. The grand 1858 sandstone railway station (still in use), in which the collection is housed, is in itself worth a visit, as a reminder of the days of steam train travel.
There is something of interest for everyone.
