Blue Lake in Plenty Gorge Park is a former quarry that, at certain times of year, takes on a striking turquoise colour. The lake is set within steep, rocky surroundings and is best viewed from nearby paths and lookouts rather than accessed directly. Despite its clear appearance, blue-green algae can be present, so swimming and fishing are not advised.
