Lake Eppalock is a man-made lake located in North Central Victoria, Australia. It's situated between the city of Bendigo and the town of Heathcote and serves as a major water storage facility for both places. In the past the lake was a major attraction for those engaging in watersports such as skiing, with a number of tourist parks and accommodation facilities around the lake. However, the current extremely low water level of the lake has meant that these activities have not been possible for the last 3 to 4 years as restrictions have been put in place limiting recreational activities on the lake.
Lake Eppalock is administered by Goulburn Murray Water.
