Lake Macquarie is Australia's largest coastal saltwater lake, covering an area of 110 km2. It is saltwater due to being connected to the Pacific Ocean by a narrow but short channel.

The land separating it from the ocean is only a few kilometres wide along most of its length. The lake is of irregular shape and in the middle of the lake is a small island, (Pulbah Island), popular for camping. There is no point on the coast from which you can see the entire expanse or its 150km foreshore. However, a good view can be obtained from lookouts in the nearby Wattagan Mountains.

There is some recreational fishing in the Lake, although fish stocks have been significantly reduced from their original values due to commercial (now banned) and recreational fishing activity. Since settlement lake-bed silt has increased in some areas due to sealed roads and drainage, however the quantity is far less than in nearby Lake Munmorah, and swimming is quite tolerable.

The Lake Macquarie region offers opportunities for Fishing, Swimming, Water Skiing, Surfing, Boating, Hiking, Horse Back Riding, Wine Tasting and much more.

The City of Lake Macquarie has an estimated population of 189,150 as of June 2003 (Australian Bureau of Statistics) and is the fourth or fifth largest Local Government Area in NSW by population (three of the largest, Sutherland, Blacktown, and Fairfield, are all within metropolitan Sydney). Its population is slightly larger than that of the City of Newcastle and similar to that of the City of Wollongong. One of its major tourist attractions is its lake, also named Lake Macquarie.

Lake Macquarie is classified as a "city", but there is no significant distinction between the terms "city", "shire", and "municipality" as applied to Local Government Areas in New South Wales. The area is demographically a set of closely contiguous towns that surround a coastal saltwater lake, and merge with the suburbs of Newcastle to the north. Some suburbs, such as Adamstown Heights are partly in the City of Newcastle and partly within the City of Lake Macquarie.
