Burrinjuck Dam Boat Ride

A boat ride is required to cross Burrinjuck Dam, from Burrinjuck Waters State Park and disembarking near Cathedral Rock.

Burrinjuck Dam was built before the First World War, to store water for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. Much of the present road towards the dam is on the railway line, which was built to take in heavy materials during the dam’s construction. The dam can store three times the volume of Sydney Harbour.

A boat service is used to cross Lake Burrinjuck, a journey of 6-7km taking approximately 15 to 20 minutes. A Reflections Holiday Park resides on the bank of Burrinjuck Dam. This is paid accommodation, but a campsite is included for free if taking the boat transfer to cathedral rock the following day - a charge of $50.

Details: The boat is usually available on Mondays and Thursdays for track users, or by special arrangement for groups. Boat bookings are essential - please call (02) 6227 8114 to arrange timings.

There is a charge of $50 for the boat journey, payable at Burrinjuck Waters Waters Holiday Park. This includes camping at Burrinjuck Waters Holiday Park the night prior and use of their facilities, including laundry and showers. Small change is required for these facilities: 20c for showers and $1 for laundry. A kiosk is also available which stocks staple groceries and provides hot meals. Please note the shop shuts at 5pm on Sundays.
