Review:

Unfortunately all the lovely pine trees had to be cut down due to safety concerns from falling limbs. It all looks quite barren now. There is a grassy strip near the reservoir with unshaded tables, water tap and two BBQ areas.

The dam is very impressive when the water is flowing over the dam wall. You can't walk onto the dam wall but you can go down a path and get a great view of the water spilling over the dam wall.
