Located 4kms south of the Leigh Creek township, Aroona Dam was once the key water source for the former coal mining town. The dam is no longer used as a water supply, with an alternative source in place, but it remains an important recreation space. The dam is open to non-motorised watercraft as well as recreational fishing.
The picnic area may be closed at times due to flooding or renovation work to facilities. Caravan turning area is at the picnic area car park. Strictly day use only - No camping or overnight parking.

The road out is atrocious. Don't attempt it with a caravan or even a motor home. Corrugations are several inches deep. The bloke at the garage said it's only 3 ks in but the sign says 6. Too rough for us, turned around in the scrub after 1.5 ks. Such a shame that roads aren't maintained so tourists can enjoy the lovely scenery this country has to offer.

Absolutely beautiful stop!! The road in is great, I think it's just been widened and graded. Would be fine in 2wd van.
