Lake Chinocup, sometimes referred to as Chinocup Lake,[3] is a salt lake in the Great Southern region of Western Australia located in the Shire of Kent between the towns of Nyabing and Pingrup and about 1 km (0.62 mi) north of the location of Chinocup.

[6][7] The lake occupies an area of 12,000 ha (30,000 acres)[2] and makes up part of the Lake Chinocup Reserve, which has a total area of 19,825 ha (48,990 acres).

[8] The Pingrup River, also part of the Lockhart system, originates from Lake Chinocup.

Further from the lake and usually on higher dune areas is found mallee scrub woodlands.
