Baroon Pocket Dam holds Lake Baroon in the Sunshine Coast hinterland between Montville and Maleny. For visitors, it is a calm inland counterpoint to the beaches: water views, picnic areas, forested slopes, and access to walks through the surrounding range country.
It fits naturally into a Blackall Range day rather than a coast-only itinerary. Combine it with Montville, Kondalilla-area walks, or a slow drive through the hinterland for a cooler, greener side of the Sunshine Coast.
