Information

This intriguing and beautiful lake has unique features that set it apart from the other lakes, lagoons and waterholes in the park. Lake Emma is open 24 hours a day.

The shape, location and formation of Lake Emma aren’t all that’s unique. Ringed by lush marshes and sedges, this is one of a few places in the park that you’ll see freshwater crocodiles (freshies) and black swans. Freshies are timid and shy, so tread quietly and you might catch a glimpse of one basking on the bank or lying in the shallows.
