This man made dam is a great place to come for a non salty swim. Head to 'Hello Goodbye' restaurant to park your car and have a coffee before head to the water.
In the summer we go here for peace and tranquility. If you are feeling brave then it's very fun to jump off of the dam into the water.
This is also a great place to bring S.U.Ps and a picnic.
