Manton Dam Recreation Area

Manton Dam was built in 1942 and was Darwin's first reliable water supply. Today the dam is a popular recreation spot, with picnic and barbecue facilities set amongst shady trees. A designated area has been set aside for swimming, with fishing, water skiing and power boating also being favourite activities. Its undisturbed drainage area is also a valuable catchment and conservation region, and some sections of the dam are closed to protect water quality.
