Lake Bitterang is a natural lake nestled within the renowned Hattah-Kulkyne National Park in Victoria, Australia — a spectacular landscape defined by the iconic Mallee scrub, rolling sand plains, ancient Buloke trees, and majestic River Red Gums. The lake is part of an impressive interconnected lakes system that forms the ecological heart of the park, sitting alongside other notable water bodies including Lake Mournpall, Lake Hattah, Lake Konardin, and Lake Woterap. This region, located roughly 35 kilometres from Mildura and 6.5 kilometres from Red Cliffs, offers anglers a genuinely wild and rewarding fishing experience set against one of Victoria's most distinctive natural environments.

The broader lakes system — including the connecting creeks and channels — can also hold fish, and exploring the network of waterways accessible via the park's track system (including the Bitterang Track) can reveal productive spots.
