Copperlode Dam is a worthwhile place to begin your discovery of Lamb Range. This man-made water barrier is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like Centenary Lakes Botanic Gardens, Cairns Central Shopping Centre, and Sugarworld Waterpark to really experience what's on offer in the area.
