Gather your loved ones, pack a picnic, and load up the esky with your favourite drinks before driving to Baroon Pocket Dam. Facilities here include barbeques, picnic tables, and restrooms making this an ideal place to hang out for the afternoon. Relax with a coldie by Lake Baroon, or get more adventurous by taking to the lake - this is a great spot for swimming, boating, or fishing.
Fishing enthusiasts also flock to Lake Baroon, where the Obi Obi Gorge below the dam remains one of the last places where a wild population of Mary River Cod remains. This is also a wildlife spotting hotspot and is rumoured to be dense with koalas, so make sure to bring your camera.
After all the action, the kids will be ready for a sugary treat - Waffle-On Stroopwafels has got you and your ankle biters covered with a menu of sweet-topped waffles and savoury croquettes. Sip on a coffee and relax in the sunny courtyard, or enjoy your waffles in the cosy indoor seating area. This little roadside cafe is extremely dog-friendly; bring your pup and they can sample the famous doggachino. The friendly owners and staff keep locals and visitors raving about this hidden Montville gem.
