Lake Dyer

Lake Dyer is a small offstream storage lake that is part of the local irrigation network.

All forms of boating activities are allowed on the lake, so it can get fairly busy.

What to expect

The lake is about 1.0 km long and up to 0.6 km wide in places (when fill) making for a fairly short paddle. The lake is semi-built up with a number of houses in open woodland setting.

The dam wall is over 1.0 km long, with loose rocks that dampen any reflective waves.

The south west corner has boating restrictions and also has the best wildlife zone.

Features and facilities

The dam and recreation facilities are open to the public seven days a week at the time of writing, from 5:30am to 6:30pm (September – April) and 6:00am to 5:30pm (May – August). Toilets, shelters and BBQ facilities are available at the day use area beside the boat ramp.

There is a privately run campground beside the main recreation reserve (shared toilets).

The lake is managed by Seqwater and the day-use area is managed by the Lockyer Valley Regional Council.
