Cedar Creek Falls is a picturesque recreation area where, after rain, a creek drops over the falls into a large swimming hole lined with majestic Alexander palms. Nearby is Peter Faust Dam, 20km west of town. The dam was built to create Lake Proserpine, an area for watersports, including power boating, sailing, swimming, rowing, canoeing and waterskiing. The lake is also stocked with cod, barramundi, saratoga and sooty grunter. On weekends and holidays, boats can be hired and BBQ facilities are provided. Conway NP, 10km SE, offers views across the Whitsunday Islands.
