Lake Indoon is a brackish, freshwater lake, which has served as an aquatic playground since the late 1950s, early 1960s. The lake covers 130 hectares of the Lake Indoon Reserve, with a depth varying from approximately 1.5m 5m depending on the seasons and rainfall. It is approximately 4.5kms around the lake, via the beach. Lake Indoon is fed from Erindoon and Bindoon creeks, and fills up by the end of winter. Overflow from Lake Indoon drifts back in to the Lake Logue system. Back in the 1930s, when the lake was dry, the local property owner built a windmill in the lake basin. Parts of the windmill head can still be found on the southwest corner of the lak
