It's a great place to go canoeing, freshwater fishing, trail walking, riding or just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. After numerous expansions, the dam now holds 56 gigalitres of water, with a surface area of 553 hectares at full storage.
Other features include walkways, trails, landscaped recreational areas, free electric BBQs, playground facilities, shady gazebos, picnic tables, a kayak launch site, and toilets.
Marroning, trout, and perch fishing are permitted only at the rear of the dam in the season with a permit.
