Friday knock offs just got a little more scenic 🍷🌊

Picture this… the working week is done, the sun is still shining and you’re settling in among the vines at Boston Bay Wines with a glass in hand and one of Port Lincoln’s best views stretching out in front of you.

It’s an easy spot for after work drinks, but just as good for a relaxed family catchup. There’s plenty of space to spread out, room for the kids to move and no need to rush when there’s pizza, oysters, share plates and local wine on the table.

🌿 There’s even more to explore at Tod Reservoir Reserve!

A new way to experience this historic Eyre Peninsula spot has arrived, with visitors now able to bring along a kayak or canoe and take to the water from the newly installed launch area 🛶

There’s plenty happening on shore too, with new picnic shelters, car parking and toilets, plus work continuing on a new shoreline loop trail for bushwalking, running and cycling.

And for keen anglers, Tod Reservoir is now the first reservoir in South Australia to be stocked with Australian Bass. Around 5,000 fingerlings were released earlier this year and are expected to reach catchable size in approximately two years. 🎣

Whether you’re planning a paddle, picnic or simply looking for somewhere new to explore, add Tod Reservoir Reserve to your next Eyre Peninsula adventure.

👉 Before visiting, be sure to check the latest conditions of access and visitor information: https://bit.ly/TodReservoirReserve
