Glenbawn Dam, Recreation lake in New South Wales, Australia
Glenbawn Dam creates a substantial water reservoir with a surface area of 2,614 hectares and reaches a maximum depth of 85 meters.
The construction of the dam began in 1947 and concluded in 1957, following the Glenbawn Dam Act that allocated 1.5 million Australian pounds for development.
The reservoir earned its name from a riverside property that existed before the construction, maintaining a connection to the local agricultural heritage.
Visitors access water activities through designated boat ramps, while the surrounding parkland provides camping sites and fishing platforms along the shoreline.
The dam generates 4.4 gigawatt-hours of hydroelectric power annually through its 5.5-megawatt power station, managed by AGL Energy.
