Lake Cowal, the largest natural inland lake in New South Wales, is a breathtaking sanctuary for wildlife and nature lovers. Stretching approximately 21 kilometres in length and 9.5 kilometres in width, with an average depth of 2.5 metres, the lake spans over 13,000 hectares when full. Recognised on the Register of the National Estate for its rich biodiversity, Lake Cowal is home to more than 180 species of waterbirds, including pelicans, seagulls, and ibis—many of which are rare or endangered. This remarkable destination is ideal for birdwatching, photography, and peaceful nature walks. Easily accessible via a public reserve off Clear Ridge Road in West Wyalong, Lake Cowal offers visitors a unique opportunity to connect with the natural beauty and ecological significance of the Bland Shire.
