Lake Cootharaba

Lake Cootharaba is a body of water on the Noosa River in the Queensland, Australia, region of Noosa North Shore in the Shire of Noosa. Given that it is 20 kilometers from Noosa, the Everglades, a major tourist destination, may be reached through this location. The hamlet of Boreen Point and the smaller camping area of Elanda Point are the main entrance points to the lake.

The size of Lake Cootharaba is roughly 10 km long by 5 km wide, with a depth of 1.5 m on average. Despite being close to the Pacific Ocean, the lake does not empty into it. Instead, the Noosa River enters through the Everglades Wetlands in the north and leaves by a navigable canal in the south to reach the sea at Noosa Heads, 12 km to the southeast. The Great Sandy National Park's southern part surrounds the lake to the north, east, and south, and the agricultural area to the west.

People who want to spend the day swimming, sailing, and engaging in other water sports frequently visit this lake. This lake is favored by ardent anglers due to the amount of fish. The lake is located in the Great Sandy National Park's southern region.

Location: 15 km (9.3 mi) North West of Noosa, Queensland
