Wentworth Falls Lake was created in the early 1900s to supply water for steam locomotives, by damming Jamison Creek.

Wentworth Falls Lake Reserve has a picnic area and children's playground with sandstone sculptures, based on seed pods of local plant, nearby. There is a walking track around the lake, of about 3.5 Km. in length. (this includes some walking along Waratah & Banksia Rds.)

Much of the lake is surrounded by sensitive hanging swamp, which is listed as an 'Endangered Ecological Community'
