Lake Callide is located 12 kilometres from Biloela via sealed road and approximately 90 kilometres south-west of Gladstone via the Dawson Highway.
While compact the lake provides you with rewarding fishing especially for golden perch (yellowbelly) and has in recent times been well stocked with barramundi. Red-claw is abundant and it's well worth placing (tagged) traps for a catch of the tasty crayfish. A variety of other freshwater species are available to you and anglers report good success from bank fishing though the boat ramps make this an ideal spot for you to launch a boat and follow the fish with a sounder.
The lake also attracts a wide variety of birdlife and the local region includes some spectacular scenery at Kroombit Tops and Cania Gorge National Parks. It is a comfortable drive from the major cities of Gladstone, Rockhampton and the popular costal areas.
