Lake Cave
A cave hidden at the bottom of a collapse sinkhole, where an underground lake reflects the “Suspended Table” stalactite. It is Margaret River's most photogenic cave.
The entrance to Lake Cave lies at the bottom of a huge collapse sinkhole, reached by descending more than 300 steps, with tall karri trees growing in the pit. Inside is a still, clear underground lake. The famous Suspended Table above it is a stalactite formation supported by a column, with its base hanging in mid-air. Together with its reflection in the water, it creates a striking sight. Visits are by guided tour only, roughly one group per hour, and last about 45 minutes. The nearby CaveWorks visitor center has cave science exhibits, and tickets are also sold there. The steps are steep and numerous, so those with knee problems should consider carefully. Opening hours are roughly 09:00–17:00 (check official information).
