Esperance is surrounded by extensive wetlands, which include seven large lakes and over 90 smaller ones. The 7.2km-return Kepwari Wetland Trail takes in Lake Wheatfield and Woody Lake , with boardwalks, interpretive displays and good birdwatching. Lake Monjimup , 14km to the northwest along the South Coast Hwy, is divided by Telegraph Rd into a conservation area (to the west) and a recreation area (to the east).
