Hinze Dam, 15 km south-west of Nerang, is open to the public seven days a week from 5:30am to 6:30pm between September and April, and Seqwater’s mountain bike map says the gates at all car parks close at those times, so leave yourself time to get back to your car. Seqwater says there is no swimming, motorised boating or camping, and that dogs are allowed on a leash only in the Day Use Area.
