Lake Maroon - Boonah / Rathdowney. Qld

Situated 25km south of Boonah lays one of South East Queensland's best freshwater fly and surface fishing destinations. The absence of forage species such as Snub Nosed Gar and Bony Bream has lead to stocked species feeding on insects and crustaceans. Lake Maroon is a small impoundment having a surface area of 350 ha and an average depth of 9.6 meters. It lays close to the base of the Great Dividing Range on Burnett Creek, a tributary of the Logan River.

Stocked species include Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Mary River Cod and the most popular target here, Australian Bass.

There is no camping allowed at the lake but there are some campgrounds wiithin a few kilometers.

A Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) is required to fish Lake Maroon.
