Carcoar Dam, Arch dam and reservoir in New South Wales, Australia

The Carcoar Dam stretches 187 meters across the Belubula River with a 52-meter-high concrete wall featuring a double parabolic arch design.

The construction of Carcoar Dam began in 1969 to provide irrigation water for the Belubula Valley and meet downstream household requirements.

The dam area includes wetlands established by the New South Wales Government in the 1990s to manage water quality through nutrient capture.

Visitors access free camping sites on the lake foreshores with amenities including flush toilets, cold showers, picnic tables, and electric barbecues.

The reservoir contains multiple fish species including Murray cod, golden perch, silver perch, rainbow trout, and redfin for recreational fishing.
