The Googong Dam and foreshores is managed by Australian Capital Territory Parks and Reserves as a water catchment, wildlife refuge and public recreation area. Maps of the area showing walking trails can be obtained from the Visitor Centre, located near the main entrance gates. The southern end of the foreshores include some interesting landmarks including a natural stone arch, London Bridge, formed from water dissolving the limestone rocks and creating caves underneath it. Other activities include sailing, canoeing, fishing, bushwalking and picnicking. Picnic and barbecue facilities are downstream of the dam wall and at London Bridge Woolshed. The parks are a twenty minute drive from central Canberra.
