Walka Lagoon forms the centrepiece of the reserve, with calm water, reed beds, and wetland habitat attracting large numbers of waterbirds throughout the year. Originally built as part of Maitland’s nineteenth century water supply system, the lagoon now functions as an important recreation and wildlife area, with black swans, pelicans, ducks, turtles, and herons commonly seen around the shoreline. Early mornings are especially peaceful when mist sits low over the water and the lagoon is at its calmest.
