South Australia’s reservoir reserves are places of stunning natural beauty and are being progressively opened for people to visit and enjoy. As you explore each destination, be sure to play your part in preserving these picturesque places that store our water supply and are home to an array of plants and wildlife.

With nature-based activities on offer, you can make the most of each unique nature offering as you explore and enjoy the landscapes surrounding the reservoirs, ever mindful of their role in providing drinking water to South Australians.

You can enjoy a picnic at the Barossa Reservoir’s famous Whispering Wall , or throw a line at Bundaleer or Beetaloo, while at Warren you can paddle your kayak too.

At Water talks you can share your wish list of activities. Your feedback will help ensure the balance between enjoying and exploring the outdoors and preserving these places for generations to come is maintained.
