Close by to Warren Conservation Park is Warren Reservoir Reserve where you can explore by foot, mountain bike, and by kayak, or just enjoy a relaxing picnic with family and friends.
BUSHWALKING
Two loop trails within the reservoir reserve offer great bushwalking experiences. The 5.5km Western Loop and the 9km Eastern Loop are both unsealed, suitable for walking and running, and they offer water views.
The 5.5km Western Loop stretches along the reservoir shore and around the reserve’s bushland, linking with a trail to South Para Reservoir Reserve, while the 9km Eastern Loop takes you around the eastern section of the reservoir and waterways that feed into it, linking to more than 20km of trails in the region. The unsealed trails are more suited to mountain bikes than road bikes. Both are shared use trails for cyclists and walkers.
KAYAKING / CANOEING
There are two launch areas at Warren for kayaking and canoeing. Take in the surrounding landscape from the water. With a fishing permit, you can drop a line in the from the shoreline in the public access area or on the water from a kayak or canoe. The reservoir is stocked with Murray cod (catch and release), golden perch and silver perch. Fishing limits are detailed on PIRSA’s website.
There is a wheelchair ramp leading to an all-accessibility kayak facility located at the Tower Entrance. Please note, there is no storage for wheelchairs on or near the launch facility.
There are two great trails for families paddling around the scenic Warren Reservoir. The longest is a 9km round trip of the reservoir including a short section of the South Para River. Alternatively there is a 3.8km loop of the South Para River.
Please note, there are no lifesaving services or resources at Warren Reservoir.
