Lake Indoon is a brackish, freshwater
lake, which can change from totally dry to full depending on the season and amount of rainfall. The
lake covers 130 hectares of the
Lake Indoon Reserve, with a depth varying from approximately 1.5m – 5m depending on the seasons and rainfall. It is approximately 4.5kms around the
lake, via
the beach.
Lake Indoon is fed from Erindoon and
Bindoon creeks, and fills up by the end of winter. Overflow from
Lake Indoon drifts back in to the
Lake Logue system.
Lake Indoon is located in the Carnamah Shire, along the
Eneabba-
Coolimba Road. It is approximately 12km west of
Eneabba and 19km east of Indian Ocean Drive.
Fees: Camping at
Lake Indoon is free, maximum of 72 hours, the pre-booking of
camp sites is not available.
The
Lake Indoon facilities include camping grounds around the
lake, an ablution block with showers (no hot water), and a tank for
drinking water. The
boat ramp has been reconstructed, making it a sturdy, concrete structure. A gas BBQ and
picnic area is available for your use near the
boat ramp on the north side of the
Lake. Murals have been painted on the ablution block and
drinking water tank by local artists.
Dogs in the
Lake Indoon reserve must be on a leash – penalties exist if dog is found unrestrained.
There is an all-year fire ban on campfires and cooking fires in the
Lake Indoon reserve. Gas BBQs are available.

The bird life is abundant, with over 50 species noted by the former local
Ranger. Kangaroos and Emus also use the
lake as a watering ground, best seen at dusk.
A Shire representative is often on-site at
Lake Indoon and a Nursing Post and Ambulance is located at
