Lake Clarendon is a reservoir located 10 km North East of Gatton in South East Queensland, Australia. The reservoir is one of a number of small dams built in the Lockyer Valley to supply water for irrigation.
Completed in 1992,[3] by mid 2006 the dam was empty due to drought conditions in Australia.[4] In January 2011, the dam was over 80% full according to the Queensland Water Commission website.
[edit] Fishing
A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in the dam.[5]
