Fonty's Pool
A natural forest swimming pool created in the 1920s near Manjimup, with lawns and a campground. Locals often come for a swim in summer.
Fonty's Pool is about 18 km north of Pemberton, southwest of Manjimup. Farmer Archie Fontanini built a dam to create it in the 1920s, making it one of the earliest public swimming pools in the southwest. The pool is surrounded by trees and lawns. In summer you can swim and sunbathe, and there are picnic areas, barbecue facilities, and a campground nearby. A small entry fee applies, and the water is very cold in winter.
