Lake Elphinstone

Lake Elphinstone is a natural lake approximately 60km from Nebo and 30km from Glenden, adjacent to the turn off to Mount Coolon on Suttor Development Roads.

Once a town used to be located adjacent to this lake, however it has been abandoned and there is little evidence of it ever existing. Glenden residents are renowned for using the lake for water sports such as water skiing. It is also a popular camping spot and has a significant bird habitat.

The Lake is relatively shallow in parts, and with having a small catchment area it has been known to dry out in periods of drought. A significant section of the property near the Lake is located on recreation reserve under the control of Nebo Shire Council. You are allowed to camp free of charge in this recreation area. Public Toilets and Showers are also available. Only limited drinking water is available and there is no electricity available at the Reserve.
