Natural Attractions

Lake Burrendong

Adventure beckons at Lake Burrendong or 'The Dam' as it's known to locals. Spike the adrenaline in the warmer months and try your hand at water skiing, wakeboarding and biscuiting.

More than just aquatic life, the dam is a haven for native Australian animals and there's no better way to spot them than on a scenic hike.

At full capacity the dam is one of the largest inland dams in NSW - three times the size of Sydney Harbour! The lake's foreshores are home to two caravan parks, the Burrendong Arboretum and a sport and recreation centre.
