Sugarloaf Reservoir is a large water storage reservoir supplying Melbourne, set within low hills and bushland. The shoreline curves through inlets and open stretches, giving it a more varied shape than a typical lake.
Recreation is limited to protect water quality, but shoreline fishing is allowed in designated areas with a valid licence. You’ll often see people casting from the edges, especially in quieter sections away from the main picnic areas.
