The lake is a significant feature of the landscape. It also is connected with early pioneers.
A small oval shaped swamp or lake with depths ranging to 0.5 metres. It is part of a chain of lakes which when they overflow discharges water into the ill defined east branch of the Beaufort River.
The swamp takes its name from the pioneer settler at this site who in partnership with Andy Wight farmed here for a number of years. Wight was a bookmaker of some repute before World War 1 with Light acting his penciller. Wight actually lived SW of Kunmallup but had very little development on his own property. Light's vineyard produced some of the best sultanas and currants in the state.
