Please note that Lake Cave is currently closed following recent bushfires in the area.
There has been no damage to the cave and all of the stunning formations and stygofauna remain protected. The surrounding vegetation is expected to recover and eventually produce brilliant regrowth. All of the major infrastructure was saved thanks to all of the great teams involved. Unfortunately, sections of the boardwalk from the main building to the cave entrance have been damaged and we are working hard to make the necessary repairs, with an aim to reopen early July, 2022
In the meantime, we recommend that you visit the beautiful Mammoth, Jewel Cave or Ngilgi Cave.

Lake Cave is a stunning crystal chamber, deep beneath the earth. Entry to this cave is from the floor of a sunken forest, surrounded by towering karri trees. Inside the cave, a tranquil lake mirrors the delicate crystal formations that grow from the cave roof, while the massive 'Suspended Table' hangs from the ceiling, almost touching the waters of the lake.
This cave is the most 'actively dripping' cave in the southwest, and it's the only cave on the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge that has a permanent lake. Lake Cave is also the deepest of the show caves on the ridge, and is without doubt one of the most beautiful limestone caves in Western Australia. The incredible entry through the sink-hole in the karri forest, and the unique 'Suspended Table' decoration make this cave a 'must see' attraction.
Above ground, admire the views from the Lake Cave Deck; a spectacular viewing platform in the treetops, suspended over the sunken entry to the cave. Don’t forget to brush up on your cave knowledge at the interpretive centre, with information about the Leeuwin-Naturaliste caves, as well as fascinating insights into caves all over the world.
