About this rest area

Henry Kendall Reserve, located downstream from Queens Lake at Laurieton, is a popular day-use area catering to outdoor enthusiasts. The Reserve offers ample opportunities for fishing during the high tide in Stingray Creek, which boasts a mile-long frontage of fishable waters, sandy bottom, and rock walls. Visitors can also enjoy a picnic under the plentiful shade and tables and take a dip in a designated swimming area. Despite its potential appeal for camping, signs clarify that overnight stays are not allowed.

A popular local 'top half of the tide' fishing spot on Stingray Creek. Each end of Queens Lake Road has a turn around point suitable for most rigs. The location features rock walls and a sandy bottom. The fishable frontage extends for more than 1km. Lots of shade and plenty of tables. A small area on the Eastern arm has been cleared of rocks to provide a swimming area. Great spot for a picnic with the chance of a fish thrown-in. Signs clearly state no camping.
