Keepit Dam, Gravity dam in New South Wales, Australia
Keepit Dam is a gravity dam that spans across the Namoi River and holds water for the surrounding region. The structure controls water flow and supplies irrigation and drinking water to communities throughout the valley.
Construction began in 1939, paused during World War II, and was completed in 1960. The project was overseen by the New South Wales Water Conservation Commission.
Lake Keepit State Park encompasses multiple vantage points where visitors observe native wildlife and participate in outdoor recreational activities.
Access is best gained through State Park facilities with parking and marked pathways throughout the area. Visitors should prepare for hot weather and bring plenty of water, especially during warmer months.
The dam includes its own hydroelectric power station that generates electricity for the region. This energy production happens alongside water storage, making it an important power source for local industries.
