Corella Dam
Lake Corella is a concrete faced rockfill dam built between 1956 and 1957 on the Corella River to provide town water for the Mary Kathleen Uranium Mine. The dam is located immediately south of the Barkly Highway, about 50 km west of Cloncurry. The dam originally had a gated control structure which was removed in 2004, lowering the spillway and reducing the full supply level. When full it has a surface area of 200 hectares and holds 10,500 ML of water.
Clem Walton Park is a popular camping area on the shore of the lake.
