Wyangala Waters
The ‘Jewel in the crown of the Central West’, Wyangala Waters is a favourite picnic area and holiday destination. Relax in comfortable accommodation or on the water in a houseboat, take a bushwalk or cast a line for some fishing. With a catchment area of 8,300 square kilometres and a dam capacity of 1,217,600 megalitres, the surface area of the dam is two and a half times the size of Sydney Harbour and is a favourite for water sports.
There are many walking trails through the bush or go mountain bike riding. Canoe around the foreshores any time of year.
Lake Wyangala is well-regarded as an excellent inland fishing spot. Catch silver and golden perch (yellow belly), catfish, Murray cod and the renowned brown and rainbow trout.
Through the spring and summer seasons, Wyangala Waters is great for jet-skiing, pleasure boating, sailing, windsailing, swimming, water skiing and there’s a giant waterslide.
