Lake Samsonvale, Pine River Dam, Whiteside, Moreton Bay, Queensland
Whether it’s a day trip from Brisbane or a romantic weekend escape, Lake Samsonvale is a picturesque and exciting destination. Although located right next door to Joyner, Warner, Whiteside and Petrie, Lake Samsonvale may be in the heart of Moreton Shire’s busiest population hubs, but it feels a whole world away. The North Pine Dam on Lake Samsonvale provides drinking water to Moreton Region and Brisbane. Lake Samsonvale is also home to a broad variety of plant and animal species. To maintain the delicate eco-system and the integrity of our water supply, all visitors must take extra care to protect the environment. Like all areas of natural, fragile beauty, remember to “leave only footprints, take only photographs”.
Things to do at Lake Samsonvale and The North Pine Dam
Lake Samsonvale attracts all kinds of visitors to its shores but never feels crowded.
Fishing at Lake Samsonvale
Lake Samsonvale’s fish stocks are maintained by the Pine Rivers Fish Managemet Association, so there’s always plenty of bites, making it ideal for young children to catch their first fish. You’ll find spangled perch, snub-nosed garfish, golden perch, silver perch, eastern freshwater cod, saratoga, red claw crayfish and Australian bass. You’ll also find tilapia – which is delicious, but at numbers considered pest level – so do your bit and get fishing! Top fishing spots include Bullocky Rest, McGavin View, Forgan Park, Forgan Cove and Kobble Creek. Like boating, shore fishing is strictly by permit only. These are obtainable from the Samsonvale Water Sports Association or the Pine Rivers Fish Management Association.
Canoeing, kayaking, rowing and sailing at Lake Samsonvale
Water sports are restricted at the lake to permit holders. The Samsonvale Water Sports Association holds regular regattas on the lake (watching the sailboats make for a very romantic first date). all visitors hoping to participate in water sports should check for restrictions before setting out.
Swimming at Lake Samsonvale
Unfortunately, there are no designated swimming areas at Lake Samsonvale. There are however a number of beautiful natural creeks and crossings nearby and a number of Council run water parks.
Playgrounds, Picnics and Barbecues
Lake Samsonvale is one of the best locations for a picnic or barbecue lunch in Moreton Region. All designated picnic and barbecue areas have a range of facilities including fresh water, toilets, tables and easy parking. Designated picnic areas can be found at Bullocky Rest, McGavin View, Forgan Park, Forgan Cove and Kobble Creek. If you’re bringing the kids, we recommend McGavin View for its sizable play structure, lookout and barbecue areas. McGavin View has an expansive view over the lake and out to neighbouring mountains. McGavin View is situated on the edge of the North Pine Dam wall, just the kind of thing little people love to look at! Check out our review of McGavin View here. Bullocky Rest is also a great place to bring kids. In addition to a small play structure, you’ll find opportunities to get up close and personal with water birds. After something a little more secluded and romantic? Forgan Cove is the ideal place for a picnic with lovely views from the adjoining 4.5km hiking path.
Dining options near Lake Samsonvale
We thoroughly recommend packing a picnic or barbecue lunch and enjoying the recreational facilities around the lake. If you’re spending a few days, you can venture into Petrie, Warner, Dayboro or Clear Mountain for ample dining options. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend escape, a first date or a big day out with the kids, Lake Samsonvale (and the North Pine Dam) offers a beautiful place to relax and take in the view.

The centre concrete centre section has 5 spillway gates, a valve for releasing water downstream and an outlet an outlet tower from which water is drawn to the North Pine Dam Treatment Plant.
The dam is owned by the Queensland Bulk Water Supply Authority, trading a SEQ Water and is now linked to the Southeast Queensland Water Grid. The North Pine Dam catchment area is 384sq kilometres and the total dam storage supply at Full Supply Level(FSL) is 214,302ML.

Drought at North Pine Dam Queensland 2008
This video was shot during the height of the recent droughts, with the dam level at 17 % capacity. The North Pine Dam or Lake Samsonvale is situated north west of Brisbane in the Moreton Bay Shire, just off Dayboro Road near Petrie. It's only 5 minutes drive from our home in Lawnton. We love to go there to sit by the water. Since the rains in late 2009/early 2010 the dam is back to 96% capacity after 4 or so years of drought. This Dam services the Brisbane and Gold and Sunshine Coast water grid.

Public Paddling now allowed at Lake Samsonvale
20 November 2018:
South East Queensland’s third largest dam storage Lake Samsonvale has been opened to public paddle craft for the first time.
The decision to allow public paddle craft access in designated zones at Lake Samsonvale followed an extensive water quality study undertaken by Seqwater.
Previously only members of the Lake Samsonvale Water Sports Association and the Pine Rivers Fish Management Association were allowed water access.
During a review of recreation on SEQ dams, the local community made it clear how much they would like to get onto the lake.
“Following a two-year study, Seqwater was able to allow public paddling, canoes and kayaks, without risking drinking water quality and public health.
For more details, The Lake Samsonvale Recreation Guide is available for download at bit.ly/2PCS5LP and includes a map of the designated zoning.
