Agars Lake

Agars Lake is a natural lake located in South Australia, sitting at an elevation of 99 metres above sea level in a remote stretch of the state's interior.

Getting There and Access

The lake is situated at approximately 32.89°S, 135.40°E, placing it in the outback regions of South Australia. As with many natural water features in this part of the state, access is likely via unsealed outback roads, and visitors should plan accordingly with a suitable vehicle and adequate supplies.

Visitor Tips

There are no food or drink facilities at Agars Lake - no café, restaurant, picnic area, or BYO arrangements are available on site. You'll need to bring everything you require, including water, food, and any shelter, as there is no shade at the location. This is particularly important to keep in mind during the warmer months when temperatures in outback South Australia can be extreme.

Given the remote setting and lack of facilities, Agars Lake is best suited to self-sufficient travellers who are well prepared for outback conditions. Always carry more water than you think you'll need, let someone know your plans before heading out, and ensure your vehicle is in good condition for travel on unsealed roads.

Best Time to Visit

The most comfortable time to visit this part of South Australia is during the cooler months, broadly from autumn through to early spring (April to October). Summer temperatures in outback SA regularly climb well above 40°C, and with no shade available at the lake, exposure to the sun during these months can be genuinely dangerous.
