Lake Kepwari is set to become the newest water-based tourism hub located 10km South-East of Collie.
If you’re familiar with Collie you know that it is a major hot spot for gorgeous lakes and rivers across the area with the big names like Honeymoon Pool and Black Diamond Lake attracting flocks of people every year, and Lake Kepwari is now set to join this iconic list.
The lake is a former coal mine that has now been filled with water from the Collie River and turned into a recreational fun land with plenty of room for water-based activities, designated picnic areas, a boat ramp and campgrounds.
