We had a lovely swim at the dam on the day we arrived in Naseby. The kids enjoyed jumping off the diving board. Lovely spot with shade, a playground and toilets. Walking distance from the centre of town.

A great example of an earth dam. Scenery is pretty spectacular especially if you happen to be there when they are spilling water. Plenty of areas to park and view/photograph from different angles. You can swim/picnic and freedom camp nearby.

Been coming up to Lake Aviemore for freedom camping for years. The lake changes depending on the wind direction. very beautiful picture if the lake is flat. Certainly worth a stop and look if driving past on the main highway from Otematata or Kurow.

I first visited before the dam was build back in the late 60's. I'm always a bit sad that the original town and orchards are under water now. At the same time it's great to create electricity and places for water sport.
