Nice recreational area but the water is full of algae and you can't swim, fish or pets can't drink the water. Plus the noise from the wind farm is constant and irritating.

Would have liked to seen information sign about this beautiful spot! Good views of this lovely dam and the valley it was over flowing into. You can drive over the dam wall and walk across from either end of the wall. Well worth turning off the highway and on the way view the wind farm up on the hill

Great spot. Plenty of Birdlife to wake up to in the morning. It's a shame some people let their dogs run loose around the place. It's a bigger shame they only have COLD SHOWERS and NON-DRINKABLE WATER as it puts you off staying a few days. But if you're equipped with your own I would highly recommend calling in for a few days.

Nice picnic area. The dam itself is more of a functional utility than a tourist spot. There is no designated parking or viewing platform. The best viewing point is on either side of the dam wall. If you are in the area, the spot is worth a visit.

The Carcoar Dam is a family friendly location. It’s a popular place for people to visit to fish and participate in water sports. There are toilets located near the shoreline of the dam. Plenty of parking. Make sure you head around to the southern side of the dam and drive your vehicle across the wall of the dam. We visited at Christmas time and there were about 40 vans parked on the shoreline - it’s a popular camping location.

Some level spots, toilet block not clean, couple of new BBQ areas not ready to use yet. People have been fishing out on new pontoon.

A very interesting place to visit. The place has Wind Turbines (Wind Farm) with the lake. The site has a camping location too.

The location is picturesque and good location for photography.

They can do many other things to this location such as making a little park etc.

Good spot. Great views and nice dam. Usually busy now days though so can be packed on a weekend. The Waterways Rangers people skills leave more then a bit to be desired. On a power trip to say the least.
