The Lake Endeavour Activation Project, is nearly competed for all to enjoy this summer.

Installation of the floating safety buoys, construction of the waterless toilets and floating walkway are now complete.

Council is currently undertaking a comprehensive water quality testing program which is scheduled for completion by summer.

Swimming is not yet encouraged due to the testing and the water temperature still being below health limits.

Lake Endeavour will be the first developed natural water location for recreational use in the Parkes Shire thanks to $1 million in funding from the NSW Government.

This exciting new development enables locals and visitors to enjoy the fantastic natural beauty of Lake Endeavour.

Safety upgrades as well as the installation of new recreational infrastructure were made to the lake due to the NSW Government's Places to Swim program.

This program encourages people to get active in, on and around Lake Endeavour - from swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding, to fishing, walking and relaxing by the water.

The recreational use of Lake Endeavour has been a long-held desire for many in our community, and with the funding received Parkes Shire Council is delighted to bring this vision to life.

The Lake Endeavour Activation project is proudly funded by the NSW Government's Places to Swim grant program as part of the Open Spaces Program.
