Harrison Dam Conservation Area

Harrison Dam Conservation Area is a small wetland conservation reserve on the Adelaide River floodplain at Middle Point in the Litchfield Municipality, Northern Territory, about 60 km east of Darwin. It protects a freshwater dam and surrounding paperbark swamp that provides important habitat for waterbirds, including large flocks of magpie geese. The reserve is valued for birdwatching, nature photography and quiet wetland viewing.

Visitors can expect a quiet, natural wetland setting centred on a small dam and seasonally inundated floodplain surrounded by paperbark forest and open water. A bird hide overlooking the dam allows for wildlife viewing and photography. There are short walking tracks, an information shelter and a car park. The area is undeveloped with no shops or camping, offering a low-key nature experience focused on birdlife and wetland landscapes.
