Water skiers flock to Waroona Dam just a few kilometres east of the township of Waroona. The reservoir is popular for water skiing and power boating. Most weekends Waroona Dam is busy with power boats and water skiers gliding along the glassy water. The fishing is also well rated - throw in a line and you're likely to catch a trout or perch, while marron is also common. During late winter Waroona Dam often overflows creating an amazing spectacle. There are great facilities at Waroona Dam including picnic tables, barbecues and toilets. A caravan park and camping ground is also available. Waroona is just over an hour's drive south east of Perth.
