Managed as part of the Cotter River Catchment Area, the major catchment for Canberra's water supply, Corin Dam was built in 1968 to act as a regulating supply to the smaller Bendora Dam downstream. Seventy-two metres high, the rock and earth-filled wall contains 75,400 million litres of water, three times the capacity of Lake Burley Griffin. Head for the lookout for spectacular views. This beautiful setting is home to much wildlife including endangered fish, many woodland birds and glorious Canberra bluebells. Facilities include toilets, picnic tables and gas barbecues.
