Araka reservoir is fairly small, and incredibly beautiful. It's size means that it will be far more likely to overflow in any given year, than any of the bigger reservoirs. So if you want to see a springtime waterfall, this is the place to head for. If you park in the main carpark by the road, you can approach the reservoir along the nature trail, enjoying stunning views along the way. Alternatively you can drive up the trail and have a picnic at the reservoir. Benches are provided, but do take your rubbish home with you.
