The Eagle View Walk Trail is a 15km bushwalking circuit that leads you to several of John Forrest National Park's less explored destinations.  The trail is a bushwalker's delight, covering a variety of relatively pristine habitats.  It's also more challenging than other trails in the park, but your efforts will be well rewarded!

A 3km stroll will take you around the lake on a wide and level path.  See native trees and wildflowers and a wealth of natural bird life.  For those with extra energy why not enjoy the 6km bush walk.

One of the many attractions is the water itself.  Easily accessible with a number of beaches, even the youngest of children can paddle and swim in safety.

The lake is surrounded by native forest, which is the home for kangaroos, possums, bandicoots, echnida, native birds and wildflowers.
