About this activity

Feeling like an outdoor adventure? Chaffey Dam has you covered! Did you know that Chaffey Dam is a unique part of inland NSW, as it's known for it's distinctive brick-red rock wall that is made up of semi-precious stones.

Sounds pretty wonderful to it! It's also know for its unusual morning glory spillway, as well as outdoor activities for families who visit. 

Chaffey Dam offers a flexible family day out, with swimming, sailing, boating and fishing available on the water you can make it as busy a trip as you want to, or lay back with a picnic and watch the activities.

There are water sports too, and great nature hikes for those nature lovers, as well as bush walkers.

If you want to extend your family day out at Chaffey Dam, why not enjoy some camping too?

Plus the surrounding nature reserves and parks are great for exploring and rife with fish and waterbirds for spotting.

The main purpose of the dam is to supply irrigation and stock needs in the Peel River Valley of Northern NSW, as well as supplying water to Tamworth,
