Lake Leschenaultia is located on Rosedale Road, Chidlow.
Lake Brochure (PDF)
Lake Leschenaultia is a 168 hectare bushland well known for its great canoeing, swimming, cycling and barbeque facilities. Popular with families, Lake Leschenaultia also has cool shaded areas, lawns, white sand beaches and playground equipment.
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.
A tremendous variety of native trees including Marri and Wandoo and wildflowers can be seen together with an abundance of bird life including ducks, geese, herons and swamp hens. Kangaroos, possums, bandicoots and echidnas roam the surrounding bush.
