Lake Ainsworth

Lake Ainsworth, a fresh water tea-tree lake with dark tannins from the surrounding paperbark trees. It is a popular spot with both Lennox Head locals and visitors. The lake, which covers an area of about 12 hectares, is located at the northern end of Pacific Parade.

It’s an ideal swimming spot for families with young children and is also suitable for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing.
