Discover Lake Ninan – A Hidden Gem of the Wheatbelt 

Just 11 kilometres south-west of Wongan Hills, Lake Ninan is a stunning Salt Lake that offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Whether you're a traveller passing through or a local looking for a peaceful weekend destination, Lake Ninan is the ideal place to pause, breathe, and reconnect with nature.

Self-contained vehicles are welcome, with 48-hour stopovers permitted, and undercover seating available for your comfort.

Lake Ninan is dog-friendly—we just ask that you please clean up after your pets to help keep the area beautiful and enjoyable for everyone.

In dry periods, the lake transforms into a shimmering salt pan—perfect for a walk across the crystalline surface. You might even discover hidden treasures once submerged beneath the lake, now weathered and etched with natural patterns formed by time.

When full, Lake Ninan becomes a picturesque spot for water activities like kayaking and paddleboarding, offering a different kind of beauty and adventure.

No matter the season, a stroll around the lake promises tranquillity and awe. Catch the golden hour glow, watch the sun set across the wide Wheatbelt sky, and stay for the unmatched stargazing—Lake Ninan is one of Western Australia’s top locations for AstroTourism.
