Goughs Bay
Lakeside Tranquility
Goughs Bay is a quiet lakeside hamlet on the northern shores of Lake Eildon, offering a peaceful escape for those seeking tranquility away from the busier lake areas. Popular with houseboaters and fishing enthusiasts, the hamlet provides direct lake access through well-maintained boat ramps suitable for various water levels. The surrounding bushland creates a serene natural environment perfect for relaxation, birdwatching, and photography. Goughs Bay is particularly favoured by those seeking quality Murray cod and golden perch fishing in the lake's less-trafficked waters. Several holiday parks and private rentals offer waterfront accommodation, many with their own boat moorings and direct lake access.
