Copeton Dam is almost 3 times the size of Sydney Harbour when full and is surrounded by recreation areas. It lies to the south west of Inverell and access can be gained from the Gwydir Highway, where the turnoff is very clearly marked. Access can also be gained from Bundarra and Bingara, with both roads converging before reaching the southern side of the dam.

It is the most popular holiday and day unit spot around, the lake boasting some of the finest facilities in Northern New South Wales. Hot showers (disabled facilities) and amenities blocks are scattered throughout the 939 hectare park and campers are able to enjoy a free form style of camping. A kiosk (meals available) and laundry are within the park and there are 76 powered camping/caravan sites. Cabins, on-site vans, fuel sales and boat hire are also available. These facilities are located just a couple of kilometres to the south of the Dam Wall.
