Lake Argyle is your first stop in Western Australia when travelling from the Northern Territory and the last major attractions when leaving Western Australia.
The largest man-made lake in the southern hemisphere is part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme and is by road from the East Kimberley town of Kununurra. Lake Argyle normally has a surface area of about 1,000 square kilometres – around 18 times the size of Sydney harbour (and it can hold 10.7 billion cubic metres of water!).
Lake Argyle, made up of 70 islands, is truly paradise in the outback with a huge variety of native fauna including fresh water crocodiles, fish, birds, wallabies and more.
There are lots of scenic and tranquil bushwalking trails or mountain bike trails. For the adventurous, why not take an amazing boat cruise, go canoeing, fishing, swimming, and indulge in the tours and activities (all year round!). There is a lovely picnic area at the base of the dam and you can view the hydro power station.
Lake Argyle accommodation options range from camping sites and powered caravan sites to cabins and villas with breathtaking views! You need to stay for the sunsets too or grab a day pass for the ‘instagram famous’ infinity pool! We can help with your accommodation needs.
