Big Brook Dam
A forest reservoir about 7 km north of Pemberton, with a roughly 4 km lakeside loop trail and a man-made beach for swimming and picnics.
Big Brook Dam lies about 7 km north of Pemberton. It is a reservoir surrounded by karri forest and serves as the town's drinking water source. The flat lakeside loop trail is about 4 km long, ideal for walking and cycling. You'll often see black swans and forest birds, and the morning mist on the water makes for lovely reflections. The lake has a small man-made beach, picnic tables, and barbecue facilities, and you can swim here in summer. The nearby Big Brook Arboretum grows tree species from around the world. Entry is free.
