Lake Wallace is the heart of Edenhope and 1 hour's drive from Kaniva. Located on the Wimmera Highway between Naracoorte and Horsham, this lakeside town offers visitors a warm welcome and unique experiences all within walking distance of the lake. Edenhope is located on the southern shore of Lake Wallace, which covers an area of 200 hectares. Popular with locals and visitors, the lake has many amenities. It is stocked with redfin and trout and has several jetties and boat ramps. There are bird hides and a scenic 5km walking track surrounding the lake. The area has over 120 bird species including the endangered Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. The ‘Icons of Edenhope’ bird murals in the main street showcase the diverse bird life in vivid colour and are painted by renowned bird artist Geoffrey Carran.
