Storm King Dam

Storm King Dam sits on Quart Pot Creek approximately 10 km southeast of Stanthorpe in Queensland's Southern Downs region.

Built in 1954 and reinforced in 2012, the concrete gravity dam is owned and operated by Southern Downs Regional Council and serves as Stanthorpe's primary water supply, with a full storage volume of 2,180 ML and a catchment area of 95 km².

The dam is a popular recreational destination accessible via Eukey Road. A public boat ramp with a single-lane concrete ramp and nearby pontoon provides access for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.

The reservoir holds a variety of freshwater species including golden perch, Murray cod, and silver perch, and the surrounding rural landscape attracts abundant birdlife such as pelicans, along with turtles.
