Towerrining Lake, Natural lake and heritage site in Shire of West Arthur, Western Australia.
The lake spans 180 hectares within a 256-hectare nature reserve, featuring low hills and varying soil types from sandy gravel to clay.
European explorer Thomas Bannister first documented the lake in 1832, describing it as a rushy lagoon before settlers began farming the surrounding land in 1909.
The Noongar peoples maintain deep connections to Lake Towerrining, using this permanent water body for gatherings and traditional practices over thousands of years.
The lake offers facilities including jetties, boat ramps, restrooms, change rooms, powered camping sites, and designated areas for water skiing during daylight hours.
The lake supports 14 frog species, 43 reptile species, 171 bird species, and remains a critical habitat for blue-billed ducks and Australasian bitterns.
