The closest fresh water depository is the Callide Dam, however it is often well below full capacity due to the lack of rainfall in the area. Despite this, it acts as a great escape for locals who participate in water skiing, camping, swimming and fishing at the dam. The Callide Dam also plays host to the annual Callide Dam Fishing Competition in which a number of introduced stock are caught each year. In particular, the dam is a haven for Eel-Tailed Catfish, Yellow Belly, Saratoga and Barramundi. The largest ever Barramundi recorded at the fishing competition was caught by Brent Watterston and measured 98cm long.

Various sporting organisations are active within the community. Such clubs include; Panthers Rugby League Club, Biloela Rugby Union Club, Biloela Touch Football Association, Biloela Tennis Association, Biloela Cricket Association, Heavies Sporting Club, Callide United Soccer Club, Biloela Swimming Club and the Biloela Police Citizens Youth Club.
