Waroona Dam, WA Australia
| Address | Invarell road, Waroona Western Australia, 6215, Australia | | Telephone Enquiries : | 08-9733 1506 |
Just five kilometres east of Waroona is the reservoir for the irrigation water from the Drakesbrook Weir, containing some 200 hectares of water. It is used extensively for recreation.
Power boating is permitted and the area is very popular for water ski activities. Fishing is also a major attraction with Marron, Trout and Perch abounding.
During late Winter the Waroona Dam usually overflows and creates an inspiring sight as the foaming water rushes down the spillway. At other times the flow from the outlet meanders down to the Drakesbrook Weir through gorges. Picnic sites, toilets and barbecues are provided. Caravan park and camping ground accommodation is available onsite at the Lake Navarino Forest Resort, phone 08 9733 3000.
