Brogo Dam is used to supply agriculture downstream to Bega thus it fluctuates in capacity depending on demand and rainfall. It is positioned in an East /West direction and is filled from two main streams, Nelson Creek mid way to the South and the Brogo River at the western end. In September/ October rock orchids can be seen in the steep cliffs in both Nelson Ck and Brogo River. Sea Eagles, Wedge Tailed Eagles, Hawks, Azure Kingfishers and LyreBirds can be spotted in the area, along with Goannas, Water Dragons, deer, wallabies and Kangaroos. It is also stocked regularly with Australian Bass. There are areas to pull the kayak out for a break near the convergence of the Nelson Ck and main dam, and where the Brogo River arm enters the dam.

DIRECTIONS...
The boat ramp is on the southern side of Brogo Dam. Travelling north on the Princes Highway from Bega, pass the Snowy Mountains Highway turnoff and count 10km before turning left into Warrigal Range Road( in the 90 Km speed zone). The Dam is 14km from here on good quality unsealed road, the last 1km on Brogo Dam Road. The Cartoscope map ( http://www.cartoscope.com.au/maps/sapph_cst/sapphireregion.pdf ) provided free by local tourism offices has just the right amount of detail. Don't take directions from Google Maps or your GPS. You will most likely be directed to a different turnoff from the Princes Highway and get to the Dam on the northern side where there is no access to the boat ramp.The concrete boat ramp is best for trailered boats, but adequate for kayaks. No shops or cafes nearby so take everything you need. There are toilets at the top near the rangers office.
