West Barwon Reservoir

This is a hidden gem, it doesn't really show up when you're looking for things to do in the Otways. There are loads of walking trails that lead from this carpark, toilets, BBQ facilities, and a fantastic view of the reservoir. Beautiful place for a picnic and some fresh air.

One of the best reservoir or number one I have visited, what a natural resource and environment. Love this place in Forrest 3236 Vic. Must to visit and feel the nature. Do the long walk on track or do the bike ride on various bike tracks in this area. Forrest is very famous for the bike tracks. Close to Stevenson falls which is another attraction in this area. Check that fall is open as most of the time it is closed. You can do the fishing in Barwon river west branch. Brown trout and rainbow trout to 2.5 kg and redfin to 1 kg depending on your luck. Lake Elizabeth is close to this reservoir but didn't get a chance to visit that.

A nice place to visit. You can walk along a path at one side of the resorvior, which is very large. There are some great sites in the grounds, and there is also a walk through a tree fern gully. Include this as a stop as part of a larger day trip.

Beautiful place to come for a quick day trip. Lovely walking trails, clean picnic spot and clean bathrooms.

Took the kids down for a quick spot of lunch and a look over the wall. Sadly, we didn't spot the platypus today, but word is they're in there somewhere.6 year old had some fun reading about the animals on the info board and we all kept an eye out for the different bird species.

Great park but as the song goes...Signs SignsEverywhere there's signsF#&$ing up the sceneryBreaking my mindDo this, don't do thatCan't you read the sign!

Good undercover bbq facilities. Toilets nearby. One gas bbq stopped working part way through cooking a meal but the other fired up without an issue. The bbq's are free to use so who's to complain? Pleasant walking tracks nearby.

We just needed somewhere to stop to give our dog a walk and this place was great! Toilets and BBQs and a big grassy area to play fetch. Also pretty cool to see the reservoir and the overflow.
