Beetaloo Reservoir is part of the broad range of nature-based visitor destinations in the Southern Flinders Ranges.
An area of 5000 hectares, encompassing the Beetaloo Reservoir and surrounding land, has recently been placed under the care and control of the Department for Environment and Water as Crown Land.
The reservoir is now open to the public 24 hours a day.
Activities permitted include wildlife and birdwatching, picnicking and barbeques using the onsite facilities.
Fishing, with an approved permit, is also possible with the reservoir stocked with Golden Perch, Silver Perch and Murray Cod.
Developing new facilities in the Southern Flinders is occurring through a partnership between the South Australian and Australian Governments, the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife, Northern Areas Council, District Council of Mount Remarkable, Port Pirie Regional Council, Regional Development Australia Yorke and Mid-North and the Nukunu Wapma Thura Aboriginal Corporation to further advance and promote the Southern Flinders region as a tourism destination.
The Department for Environment and Water acknowledges Aboriginal people as the First Peoples and Nations of the lands and waters we live and work upon and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge and respect the deep spiritual connection and the relationship that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have to Country.
The Department works in partnership with the First Peoples of South Australia and supports their Nations to take a leading role in caring for their Country.
