About this site

Source

A dam on Big Bar Creek made Riley Lake, and the recreation site sits on its shore in semi-open country near Clinton. Fishing, swimming and a picnic by the water are the whole agenda, with the lake about 0.2 km from camp.

There is room for 4 parties, first come, first served, on gravel access.

Canoe Creek 1 is about 20 km away and the nearest fuel about 38 km, so arrive fuelled and stocked. The Jesmond Fire Lookout is about 4 km away, and Canoe Creek Warm Spring about 16 km.
