Lake King was formed in the late 1860’s, its original purpose to provide the town’s water supply. Today it is nestled between the Rutherglen Golf Course, Rutherglen Caravan and Tourist Park, Apex Playground and the Rutherglen Bowling Green.
Lake King Wetlands is a popular spot with locals and tourist who enjoy walking around the one kilometre Arthur Mann Scenic Walk, which gives you a great opportunity to view the bird life that makes Lake King Wetlands their home.
There are public toilets and barbecue facilities available, children’s playground and skate park.
There is no swimming allowed in Lake King, however not far from the lake is the Rutherglen Swimming Pool which is open during the summer months.
