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

The
