Constructed
in 1973, Dartmouth Dam impounds the waters of the Mitta Mitta
River about 24 km from the township of Mitta Mitta in north
eastern Victoria.When full, the dam stores 4,000,000 megalitres
of water from the alpine areas of Victoria.
Fishing
Fish present:
Maquarie Perch, Trout Cod, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout &
carp.
Lake Dartmouth is a popular fishing destination for both brown
and rainbow trout and also contains Victoria's largest population
of Macquarie Perch - a fish now listed as vulnerable.
Boating
There are good boat launching facilities but, while motor boats
can be used, water skiing and house boating is not permitted.
Boats are required to keep at least 700 metres away from the
dam wall.
Camping
Camping (with limited facilities) is permitted in designated
areas around Lake Dartmouth. The track from Sassafras Gap to
the Eustace Creek camping area can be accessed by car, although
a four wheel drive is recommended in wet conditions. The two
other camping grounds can be reached by boat.
