Lake Cooby
Cooby Dam
Lake Cooby is located 35 km north of Toowoomba.
Only electric and non-motorised vessels suck as canoes, kayaks, row boats and sailing boats are allowed on the lake.
Swimming is not allowed and being a reserve, no dogs or other pets.
What to expect
Pleasant lake paddling surrounded by forested terrain. Restricted to unpowered vessiles, the lake provides a break from the bustle seen in more popular areas during the summer months.
Logistics
There is a single put-in point, a boat ramp at Loveday Cove.
The area is managed by Toowoomba Council.
