About this place
What to expect
Harvey Dam is a large, impressive waterway with fantastic facilities and a stunning amphitheatre located only 2.5 km from Harvey. 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.
