Glenlyon Dam, also known as Pike Creek Reservoir, is an earth and rockfill dam in Queensland near the border with New South Wales, roughly between Stanthorpe and Texas to the west. In 1976, the dam wall was built on Pike Creek, a tributary of the Dumaresq River, 5 km (3.1 mi) upstream from the confluence of the Mole River and Severn River branching from the Dumaresq. The dam has a capacity of 254,000 megalitres, a catchment area of 1,295 square kilometres and covers an area of 1,750 hectares at full supply level.

| - Glenlyon Dam, also known as Pike Creek Reservoir, is an earth and rockfill dam in Queensland near the border with New South Wales, roughly between Stanthorpe and Texas to the west. In 1976, the dam wall was built on Pike Creek, a tributary of the Dumaresq River, 5 km (3.1 mi) upstream from the confluence of the Mole River and Severn River branching from the Dumaresq. The dam has a capacity of 254,000 megalitres, a catchment area of 1,295 square kilometres and covers an area of 1,750 hectares at full supply level. Glenlyon Dam provides water for irrigation of grain and fodder crops. It is managed by SunWater. Swimming, fishing, boating and water skiing are all permitted, with no restrictions on boating except near the dam wall. Two boat ramps facilitate access for boating. In the upper reaches of feeder creeks there a large areas of standing timber and submerged logs. In December 1994, the dam reached a critically low level of 2.2% and the next year rose to just 12% of capacity during a series of droughts in Australia. The dam reached a peak of 110.78% on January 12th 2011 during the 2010-2011 Queensland floods. (en)
