Welcome to Lake Argyle

Arial view of Lake Argyle

In the far north East of Western Australia, in the remote Kimberley region, is a vast freshwater lake nestled amongst a rugged billion year old landscape.

Lake Argyle is Australia's largest body of freshwater covering over 900 square kilometers at normal full supply level with a flood capacity in excess of 2000 square kilometers.

Once a habitat that was subject to the cycles of the wet and dry seasons, now this massive expanse of permanent fresh water has allowed a thriving ecosystem to develop.

The magnificent scenery and peaceful isolation make Lake Argyle a must see destination when visiting the Kimberley!

"If one were to paint this country in it's true colours, I doubt it would be believed. It would be said at least that the artist exaggerated greatly, for never have I seen such richness and variety of hue as in these ranges"
