Great place for a picnic or bar-b-que (wood fired). There is a cycleway and walking track from town to this attraction - see Cycle trail.
They are bins but no toilets. Road access is good although not sealed once you turn off Ellengerah Road so exercise caution if wet. The road is closed during wet weather.
Warning signs advise that ***Swimming, fishing or boating anywhere near the weir – above or below it – is extremely dangerous***.
If coming from the Nevertire direction turn right at the round-about and follow this road - Dubbo Street, which then becomes Ellengerah Road - for about 5kms until you see the sign (see photo). If coming from Carinda - proceed through the round-about in the centre of town. The weir can also be accessed from the northenr side of town. Take the Wambianna Raod toward Narromine for approx. 4 kms and turn right over the cattle grid with white gate posts. A dirt track of about 1-2kms from there takes you to below the weir.
