SHANNON CREEK DAM

Public BBQ

This dam-side facility offers one of the region's most impressive barbecue setups, just a short drive from Coutts Crossing and Grafton. The extensive undercover seating areas and well-maintained lawns handle large crowds with ease, while multiple free gas barbecues ensure minimal wait times. Visitors consistently praise the spotless toilets and eating areas, with families particularly appreciating the combination of open spaces for games and the scenic dam views. The Aboriginal walking trail adds cultural depth to the experience. The grounds maintain their reputation for exceptional cleanliness, though checking opening times beforehand prevents disappointment. The quiet access road provides a pleasant cycle route for those seeking a more active approach to reaching this well-equipped facility.
