Recreation
Recreation (including swimming and boating) on Rocky Lake is prohibited to protect the high quality of the water in the reservoir. However, a recreational area is provided by Rous Water near the dam wall including lawns, barbecues, playgrounds, walking tracks (including a board walk and pontoon bridge) and interpretive walks. The lawns near the edge of the lake are often used for weddings. The catchment is mainly under the control of the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service as national parks and State conservation areas. This means that only passive recreation such as bush walking, bird watching, etc. are permitted. However, swimming, boating, 4WD and dirt bikes are prohibited in the catchment area.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
