Pejar Dam

nice quiet place for stop for take beak .

Supplying Goulburn with water since 1980, Pejar Dam was, before the construction of the wind turbines, the most prominent item of infrastructure along the road from Goulburn to Crookwell. I remember seeing the dam during family road trips to Crookwell in the early 1980s, and being surprised and impressed by it.

During my visit yesterday, the dam was at or near capacity, as evidenced by water slowly trickling over the spillway. I have seen it during times of drought, a sad sight indeed, with the high water mark on the dam walls being many meters above the surface of the water. Many waterbirds were enjoying the abundant water yesterday.

Apparently fishing is permitted in the dam, provided that one will adhere to the many conditions set out on a sign located near the rest area. Be sure to have an up to date fishing permit, and be aware of the bag limit of the fish species you are attempting to catch.

It's just a nice picturesque area. If you're out and out in the Goulburn area, there's plenty of nice places like Pejar Dam to spend some time. Toilets, tables and even some rudimentary BBQs. Plenty of room to pull up with your caravan/camper.

A really lovely spot, right there on an excellent and definitely recommended road.

Beautiful area lots of fun access to the lake . Fishing from kayak was great heaps of solid rainbows. Shame people leave mess .

nice view for sunrise or sunset. bench and toilet available. not far from Goulburn

Awesome place to stop and have a look around the place

The Big Sky is awesome! Best views late in the afternoon in autumn. Yet to catch a fish but they're definitely in there!

Great relaxing place

I drove past here today, it was very foggy it still looked noce, I'll check out the picnicking area next time.

Beautiful and peaceful location to fish or have a bbq

Amazing place to fish.
