Manly Dam is a heritage‑listed site built in 1892 as the area’s original water supply, it was later upgraded several times before shifting to a recreational destination.
You can follow lakeside trails, swim in the reservoir, or enjoy a picnic in the surrounding reserve. The water and catchment now support a mix of outdoor activities, while the historic concrete gravity dam still stands as a striking feature in the landscape.
