Please note that there are no facilities here, visitors must be self-sufficient and take all their rubbish with them when they leave.
Dam wall and waterfall at Colbrook Reservoir
The impressive dam wall is set on the south western side of the reservoir, and features a stunning seasonal waterfall!
The best time to visit Colbrook Reservoir for the waterfall is winter and spring, when water levels are higher and the waterfall is most likely to be flowing over the edge.
This is a fantastic spot for photography.
The waterfall can also be viewed from the bottom, if you carefully make your way down to Korweinguboora Creek and walk back upstream to the base of the dam wall.
Waterproof shoes are recommended if you are going to head down to the creek.
When appreciating the view over the dam wall and waterfall, please observe all safety notices and do not cross any fences. There is a very large drop here and surfaces can be very slippery when wet.
BUSHWALKING AT COLBROOK RESERVOIR
A narrow walking track travels around the reservoir, connecting the dam wall with the camping areas and offering gorgeous views over the water.
There are also lots of dirt roads and tracks in the surrounding bush which make great walking tracks.
How do you get to Colbrook Reservoir?
Colbrook Reservoir is accessed by rough, uneven dirt tracks, which will be muddy in wet weather.
