One of the main attractions for visitors to this lake are the unique salt formations that form on the lake bed. At night, the lake provides the perfect environment to view the constellations of the southern hemisphere.

The environment around the lake is home to Mallee reptiles, kangaroos, emus, and White-fronted-chats. The lake also happens to be one of the largest breeding grounds for seagulls in the region. The surrounding saltbush and samphire also play host to countless animal species.
