Maroon Dam is a water storage and recreational dam in South East Queensland. The dam lies south of Boonah, within the Scenic Rim at the foot of the McPherson Range. Maroon Dam subverts the waters of Burnett Creek, a tributary of Logan River and supplies the shire of Beaudesert with water.
SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for our dams is maintained. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term. [3]
Fishing and water skiing are popular recreational activities for visitors to the waters held back by the dam. The dam is managed by SunWater.
