Location
Glenlyon Dam is located approximately an hours drive south west of Stanthorpe. The dam is popular for fishing and watersports, with no vessel type restrictions occurring on the dam. Boats can be hired from the Glenlyon Dam Tourist Park. The tourist park also offers cabins, powered sites and unpowered sites. The facilities at the park include toilets, showers, picnic tables, barbeques, playground and a kiosk with supplies. The Murray cod spawning in late winter and early spring is well worth seeing. Also ask the local park operator for the directions to the springs on the back hill.
