Situated just south of Dwellingup (derived from the Nyoongar Aboriginal word for 'place of nearby water'), Lane Poole is a major reserve situated on both banks of the Murray River. Running through an ancient valley of the Darling Scarp, the Murray River is the largest un-dammed river in the Darling Range and is popular with rafting and canoeing devotees.
The river forms a series of rapids, small waterfalls and deep still pools. In winter it can be a raging torrent, and in summer a limpid stream to swim, canoe or fish in.
