Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve

Excellent and beautiful and totally worth going to see especially on sunset, there’s load of beautiful introduced waterlillies, plenty of birds including black neck storks, might even see a buffalo and a crocodile if you look closely but not too close! It’s also free how’s that for a bargain..

This conservation area is amazing. There are so many different bird species here. The two designated tracks offer different specialities. The left boardwalk track is beautiful, especially when the Lotus Lilly are in bloom. The right track offers more rainforest-like birds such as Rose-crowned Fruit-dove and Rainbow Pitta.

Don't miss the road down the middle. It can't be walked due to crocs, but you are still able to drive through and stop at the hides along the way. At the end of the track there is a multi level bird hide where you can spot many more birds and possibly crocs.

It is best to visit this place early in the morning (dry season) for maximum birds, and comfort temperature wise.

If you are visiting NT and you like birds or nature areas, definitely visit this place!

Absolutely awesome. Wild life amazing. Birds crocodiles and even fish swimming across the road. Highly recommend a look

We came here to wait for a jumping croc tour and we are so glad we did visit this area. There are 3 mains walks which are displayed on the information board, all of them were great. Currently the main dam wall is closed for walking due to crocs (but you can still drive and quickly get out!) The walks are very easy and flat, great for all and shaded in most areas. You will see stunning birdlife and lilies in this region, it’s amazing.

Incredible concentration of a huge number of different birds. The forest walk is fantastic, very beautiful, couldn't help walking quietly just to capture all the sounds. A special place to visit, and so close to Darwin

I had the most incredible experience here... The monsoon walking track will stay with me forever! No crocodiles in the wetlands but it was the wrong season for it. A truly beautiful place!!

Beautiful to see a bit more water at Fogg Dam today. Not much in the way of birds to see but a nice drive to get out of the city and lot's of Lotus Lily's in flower.

Best time ever.. perfect weather after tropical low.. saw some fishes jumping off the road..and those greenery with lots flowers made the trip amazing..

Great spot to enjoy the sunset overlooking the dam.

Live bird show with many different species...spectacular view

A birders (or Twitcher’s) paradise. Bring your binoculars and enjoy many water birds, and some woodland birds,

Best wetland view in Darwin. Way Better than Kakadu wetland

A beautiful place. Lots of birds and the water Lillies are something to behold

Really beautiful spot. Was here in the dry season (August) and the lillies were flowering and birds were everywhere. Would love to come here in the wet season though, as there wasn't much water around and it all looked very dry.

Well worth the effort if you are in the area. Just don't forget your mozzie spray!

Nature at its best amazing birds, water Lillie’s, no fishing allowed it is a nature reserve, every day is different

An truly unique location to visit and spy many bird species.

Love fog dam. Bird life is fantastic. Great job in cleaning up the waterways NT govt

Beautiful ride up the Arhnam hwy, beautiful scenery

Great place to view beautiful natural wetlands enviro. Saw a croc right beside the road, and many dozens birds feeding. Well worth a day trip only 20mins past humpty doo on arnhem hwy.
