When the lake is full, a notable phenomenon is that around midday the surface can often become very flat. The surface then reflects the sky in a way that leaves both the horizon and water surface virtually impossible to see. The commodore of the Lake Eyre Yacht Club has stated that sailing during this time has the appearance of sailing in the sky.<ref>{{cite news|last=Tinson|first=Sam|title=Dry country|url=http://www.sailsmagazine.com.au/j/index.php/livenews/101-dry-country|access-date=30 March 2017|work=Sails Magazine|issue=7|date=May 2011|language=en-gb|quote="Often you get becalmed in the middle of the lake at midday, and the surface is like a mirror, the water and the sky become one. You get a light sea fog and it’s almost like you’re floating in a cloud. It’s a very beautiful thing."|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170331120051/http://www.sailsmagazine.com.au/j/index.php/livenews/101-dry-country|archive-date=31 March 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>
