Lake Leschenaultia

Lake Leschenaultia is a 168 hectare bushland well-known for its canoeing, swimming, cycling and barbeque facilities.

The Lake is the perfect spot for a family outing with cool shaded areas, lawns, white sand beaches and playground equipment.

Shelters and lawn areas can be hired for exclusive use. 

Originally known as Chidlows Well, the Lake was built in 1897 as a dam by the Western Australian Government Railway to replenish the steam engines travelling to Northam, York and beyond.

Important note: Dogs and pets are not permitted at Lake Leschenaultia, unless approved in writing by the Shire or are a registered Assistance Dog. An authorisation card must be carried when entering the park.
