You can explore the network of trails through the beautiful reservoir surrounds and now linking to Warren Reservoir Reserve and Williamstown in your hiking boots or on your mountain bike. Pack a picnic and make the most of water views deep into the reserve. There is also kayaking/canoeing and fishing along the shore or from your kayak.

Free car parking and toilet facilities are also available.
