If you love fishing, you're going to love this holiday destination. Lake Maraboon is stocked with eight different kinds of fish including barramundi, golden perch, silver perch and red claw crayfish, making it a popular spot for anglers. Apart from fishing, there are other things to keep you and the kids occupied like swimming, walking and waterskiing. There are several picnic tables and free electric and wood barbecues in the area. A permit is required to fish at Lake Maraboon but red claw, a freshwater crayfish, are so abundant in the lake that you don't need a permit to catch them and there's no size limit
