Lake Bryde

Lake Bryde reserve is vested with the Conservation Commission as a Conservation Park. The reserve itself is only 1300 hectares and is part of a wetland complex selected in July 1999 as a recovery catchment due to its high natural diversity values.

This lake is not suitable for swimming or boating activities. It is an ephemeral wetland with a hydrperiod of between 5 and 8 years (meaning there is hardly ever any water in it).

The lake is not suitable as a tourist destination as the biological assets in the area are already under threat from recreational activities and hydrological changes. The actual lake bed is a plant community registered as a threatened ecological community.
