Dams & Lakes for boating

Hi guys,

Trying to find some new places to do a bit of boating and camping.

Looking for any Dams, Lakes or Rivers around the Perth area (or within a 4 hour drive) which allow boating. I know of Waroona dam, Logue Brook dam, Swan River (Obviously). I remember as a kid going boating on Lake Indoon but from when I saw that last you could practically walk across it. Another one we used to enjoy was Lake Jaspar down south but they have cut access to it by closing the bridge.  
 

On google I notice there is Wellington dam and Serpentine River but I am not sure if these are accessible? 

Any other nice areas that anyone can reccomend?

Is Wellington Dam open to the public? are you allowed to boat on the dam?

 

Blackwood is a good one thankyou. I completely had forgotten about that.

 You just have to inform the local rangers I think, no cost, boats with electric motors or oars only.
