Logan Inlet is a designated swimming and snorkelling area on the shores of Lake Wivenhoe, the largest lake in South East Queensland. Nestled in the scenic Brisbane Valley, this freshwater inlet off Logan Inlet Road offers calm, buoy-marked open-water conditions surrounded by eucalypt woodlands. As a dam lake fed by the Brisbane River, the water is generally still and clear during calm weather, making it a popular spot for snorkellers to explore the freshwater environment. The day-use area features picnic tables, a children's playground, and a boat ramp, all set against a backdrop of rolling hills and expansive lake views.
