Reviews
Diverted off the main highway to have a look not too far off the main drag, and was not disappointed. These out if the way places need lots of maintenance and it is obviously popular with the Darwin boating fraternity. Would have benefitted from better signage and access to the water, because other than the boardwalk to the toilets and the boat ramp there was not much of a chance to enjoy the serenity of the dam. Worth the diversion just for a quick look, or a kayak trip if you have one on the roof racks.
Not a bad spot to come out to see the dam only the lake though, you can't see the wall from here, and there are plenty of places to have a picnic in the shade, but it is not very well grassed and really is primarily a water sport location. It's definately good for that though.
Visited here on the way to elsewhere - its really for watersports, bird watching and bushwalking. Boat ramp present and accounted for. Sudpect is quite popular with the locals.
Very basic picnic ground does have toilet, water& rubbish bins. The area is mainly used for fishing & jet ski.
Beautiful piece of water but currently closed due to croc sighting.
Not a lot of facilities. Probably a good spot for a family picnic.
We were looking for a scenic park-up but the car park’s not it! Great if you want a leg stretch. Had some miniscule phone bars for which we were grateful at the time.
Nice view of the dam. Nothing too exciting here. Good place to stop if you've had a long drive. The toilet building is massive.
Good Family and Friends day out.
Brilliant place for waterskiing and boarding and other types of watersports. Plenty of parking and room for family barbecues/picnics. A popular recreation spot for the locals just a short drive south from Darwin.
