Borumba Dam Picnic Grounds

A beautiful little dam, this is a great spot for family outings on the water. Not a lot of space for large groups and the dam gets choppy with boat wakes quite quickly. But still a wonderful dam for watersports and fishing.

Pretty awesome views of the dam and lake. The mountains in the background make a great backdrop. There are two BBQs but plenty of tables and an amenities block.

This place has limited to no access to the water and swimming is not allowed. There are limited picnic spots right next to the parking lot and its probably only worth visiting if you have a boat and are keen to get on the water. There wasn't really anything for our kids to do there, so we moved on. Although people canoe and kayak there it seems more set up for powered boats.

Lots of day use facilities. Nice peaceful feeling to sit down and slow down your pace.

Borumba Dam is about 60km due west of Imbil following Yabba Creek Road out of the town. As you can see from these photos many millions of dollars have been spent on the dam the walkway on the dam that leads on to the other side of the Lake. It is a great place for boating enthusiasts and kids and their Mums and Dads to swim. But unfortunately the Wide Bay Burnette council responsible for this region hasn't provided enough facilities for the the elderly or disabled people. These photographs clearly show a disrespect for the needs of people using wheelchairs and their carers. There is no ramp access to this lookout and the toilets and showers need an urgent upgrade.

Lovely view, pretty easy access. Toilets were OK

Nice view, upper part has tons of tables and seating, but there's not much for kids to do unless they're on the water (mine are a bit young).

Great BBQs and day use area. Toilet block was nice and clean and fairly new. Not a huge amount of parking. Boat ramp easily accessible.

Good facilities for the family and boaties, but the dam is barely visible from the picnic area for day trippers
