HINZE DAM PICNIC PARKLAND

Public BBQ

A clean, well-appointed picnic parkland below the top of Hinze Dam, with about five electric barbecues under cover, picnic tables, toilets, a big playground and generous parking. The whole site is mown and kept tidy. The views over the dam are the attraction, and the spillway is worth timing a visit for when it is overflowing. A walk across the dam wall starts here, with more walking trails nearby; take a jacket, as it is cooler up top than on the coast. Dog rules are not consistently signposted, so check the signage on arrival.
