Reviews
"So pretty. If you’re looking for a place that’s instantly lush and green on arrival but not to far from the city, this is it. Perfect picnic area or hike."
"Easy parking . Beautiful spot with picnic grounds but only 1 picnic table . Steep hill to get to the view of the dam . Toilets . Access to a few hikes ."
"A walk around the lake is lovely. It takes 1,5-2 hours and you can hear all kinds of birds and see lots of native plants on the way. Don’t bring your pet. Dogs are not allowed. Swimming in reservoir is not permitted as well."
"A great place for a picnic and birdwatching. Not far from Brisbane. Swimming is not recommended due to algae in the water. There is a circuit around the reservoir, which is about 5km and takes roughly 2 hours to complete. Walking back along the road from the carpark is also nice, as there are plenty of streams and wildlife to see."
"Interesting short walk from carpark to the reservoir that includes a pedestrian bridge over the creek to a pumping station. From there go left to a picnic table and toilets, only 50 metres or so. Or turn right at the pumping station, to follow a steep, rough vehicle track for 150 metres to the top of the resevoir wall. Good view overlooking the resevoir, the intake tower and spillway. From here you can do a 2 hour trek around the dam, easiest to walk clockwise, along the top of the dam wall. The circular trek is quite nice, though climbs a bit over the second half. After heavy or prolonged rain the track will be quite boggy in parts, especially at the fartherest (west) end of the lake. Good walking boots advised."
