Borumba Dam lies on Yabba Creek about twelve kilometres west of Imbil in the Mary River valley. The dam was built in 1964, and is earmarked for various expansion programs in line with water shortages. The dam currently holds a maximum of 46,000 megalitres, and backs up for about seven kilometres. The dam is surrounded by steep hills with good vegetation. The large hill to the north of the dam wall has hoop pine rainforest in gullies, and campers at the good campgrounds below the dam sometimes see rarer Australian mammals and birds

If you dont want to stay in cabins you can camp on the camping grounds right near the river.

There is a boat ramp near the dam wall and probaly 1 minute drive to the camping grounds. Deer Park is roughly a 5 minute drive away from the dam. The dam permits powerboating and skiing, and is popular with bass fishermen. A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish, $35.00 for one year, or $7.00 for a week.

Camping costs $7 - 10 dollars per person, per night. Toilets are provided - showers and fire places for the family to sit around.

If you dont have a boat you can paddle around in a canoe or just ask someone for a tube ride or ski with there boat, I am sure they will take you out as Borumba is a very friendly atmosphere. I know this because i asked a young family to join us for the day. Best day they had in years and we never charged them a cent.
