Copeton Waters
Copeton Waters offers a fantastic opportunity to use and enjoy Lake Copeton, which boasts three times the capacity of Sydney Harbour.
With the lake, forest and open parkland to explore, Copeton Waters State Park is a haven for bushwalkers, nature lovers and water sport enthusiasts. For something completely different, try fossicking for sapphires, zircon, topaz, jellybeans, crystals and tourmaline around the local area.
Fishing on Copeton Lake offers species such as Murray cod, catfish, Silver perch, Golden Perch (yellow belly) and redfin. Trout can be caught in the Gwydir River downstream of the dam.
Through spring, summer and autumn, Copeton Lake offers canoeing, sailing, swimming, water skiing, and white water rafting when water is released from the dam.
