Sheltered picnic and barbeque areas are positioned throughout the Lake Awoonga Recreation Area. Fires are only to be lit within designated fireplaces.
Lake Awoonga has specially designated parking bays and picnic areas which are accessible to people with a disability. Disabled toilet access is available at Ironbark Gully and Riverston Bay.
