Description of Rowles Lagoon Conservation Park
Located 70km north of
Coolgardie, via
Coolgardie North Road through
Kunanalling and
Kintore, Rowles Lagoon is a a semi-permanent fresh water lake and although over 40 species of water birds can be found here, the lagoon is a gazetted water ski area and
camping is allowed. Good facilities are provided including picnic shelters, picnic tables, concrete fire rings with hotplate and hook, and eco-toilets. A large information shelter near the boat launching area provides information about the 9 biodiversity zones of the Goldfields. 16 species of waterbird actually breed at the lagoon, the most noted being the Brown Freckled Duck. Other species include the Grey Plover, Black-tailed Godwit, Ruddy Turnstone, Whistling Kite, Little Eagle, Peregrine Falcon and Spotted Harrier.
The last major rain that filled the lagoon was a Cyclone in 2000. Water levels are currently below that necessary for waterskiing. Rowle's Lagoon Nature Reserve features a unique bird watching area, catering for a range of activities including
camping and picnicing. Gazetted water ski area. The old boiler in the lagoon was once used to pump water to the Carbine Mine.

What Others Say about Rowles Lagoon Conservation Park
Treks passing Rowles Lagoon Conservation Park
Goldfields Loop
Go back to the turbulent days when new towns sprouted soon after a gold find only to turn to ruins after the gold dried up. The trek paints the picture of the gold rush days in WA, the jubilance and hardships faced and the towns that survived.
