Kangaroo Creek Reservoir Lookout

Kangaroo Creek Reservoir Lookout is located in the enchanting Adelaide Hills. This location is not just a vital water supply for the city of Adelaide; it also treats visitors to breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Kangaroo Creek dam, constructed between 1966 and 1969, was designed to harness the natural flow of water, ensuring that the growing population of Adelaide had the resources it needed.

The area is steeped in history, with deep connections to the Kaurna people, the traditional custodians of the land. Visiting the lookout offers not only a chance to marvel at the stunning vistas of the Adelaide Hills but also an opportunity to reflect on the historical significance of the land to its Indigenous inhabitants. The reservoir has played a pivotal role in the development of the area, particularly during the droughts that have influenced South Australia’s delicate water management.
