Fishing and Kayaking at Doaks Reserve


Doaks Reserve is a great spot for fishing and kayaking. The bank down to the water is fairly steep but it is still accessible.

Swimming at Doaks Reserve


There is a rope swing attached to a tree with a make-shift wooden ladder going up the trunk, but swimming is not advised here as you can see many submerged logs and branches in the water. 

Visitor facilities at Doaks Reserve


The only visitor facility here is a steel picnic table, set in the clearing alongside the river. There are no other visitor facilities here.

Please take all rubbish with you when you leave.
