Rocky Creek Dam, Embankment dam in Northern Rivers, Australia
Rocky Creek Dam stretches 220 meters across Rocky Creek, creating a water reservoir that holds 14,000 megalitres at an elevation of 187 meters above sea level.
The construction of Rocky Creek Dam started in 1949 under Dayal Singh's contract with Rous County Council, reaching completion in April 1953 to supply water to regional communities.
The dam's surroundings contain walking paths through subtropical rainforest sections, including Water Dragon Walk and Platypus Walk, which connect visitors to local natural environments.
The facility maintains multiple amenities for public use, including barbecue stations, restrooms, car parking areas, and an elevated boardwalk for wildlife observation.
The dam structure incorporates 80,000 tonnes of rock, soil, clay, and concrete, while its catchment spans 31 square kilometers of protected forest areas.
