Sea turtles have been recorded nesting on
the beach, and a small
population of koalas inhabits the forest around the lake and the
Round Mountain area. The lake, coastal rainforest and heathland offer a wintering spot for birds, bats and flying-foxes, and
the beach and dunes make for a pleasant swim.
The
picnic area beside Cudgen Lake has free electric barbecues and opportunities for canoeing and swimming. Enjoy a walk beside the lake with the backdrop of Mt Warning to the west.
Access 20 km east of Murwillumbah on Clothiers Creek Road off the Pacific Highway.
