Looking for the perfect spot for a family day out? The Trevallyn Dam day-use area has everything you need for a relaxing picnic or a fun gathering with loved ones, and only 10 minutes from Launceston CBD!

With views overlooking Trevallyn Dam, you can take in the beauty of this iconic site while learning about Tasmania's rich hydropower history. Families will love the wide-open spaces for kids to explore, and it's dog-friendly too, so your four-legged friends can join the fun. With electric-BBQ facilities and plenty of room to relax (or a game of cricket!), it's an ideal destination for the whole family.

Here in Tasmania, our lakes don't just offer stunning scenery; they're also the powerhouse of our renewable energy… hydropower! To keep everyone safe, always check the site's safety signs.
