About this place

Close to Collie, this is great spot to spend a day. You can go swimming, canoeing and kayaking, or watch people water ski on the lake. 

The sheltered barbecue area has picnic tables and with the great views across the lake, you won't want to leave. 

There are two campgrounds nearby - David Ugle and Mick Murray campgrounds - which need to be booked in advance. If you would like to camp, head back out on the road to the entry layby where you should get better phone reception to make a booking on Park Stay WA.
