Wyangala Dam

Wyangala Dam is located just a short distance from Cowra and when at capacity, is 2.5 times the size of Sydney Harbour. The dam offers an ideal space to enjoy water sports of all types, including boating, fishing, canoeing and swimming.

Set among the lush landscapes of the Wiradjuri Countryside and at the junction of the Lachlan and Abercrombie Rivers, Wyangala Dam enjoys expansive views of the nearby hills and valleys, offering a peaceful retreat that feels a world away. Grab a day pass or an annual pass and start planning a trip everyone will be talking about!

If you're into boating, launch off into the wide expanse of Lake Wyangala and feel the breeze as you cruise along calm waters. And if fishing is your thing, bring along your gear and settle in for a day of casting lines – the lake is known for its abundance of native fish, so you might just reel in a golden perch or Murray cod for an exciting catch!

For those who prefer to stay on land, the area around the lake offers some fantastic hiking trails. Wyangala Waters is a great spot for the whole family. There's an on-site playground for the little ones and school holiday activities that keep everyone entertained between swims, bushwalks and BBQs.
