Beautiful
Lake Eucumbene in the beautiful Snowy Mountains is located around 40 kilometres from Cooma at its closest point. It sits at an elevation of 1200 metres above sea level making it a pristine alpine lake. The closest town to Lake Eucumbene is Adaminaby. The dam construction was finished in 1958 creating the largest of the Snowy Scheme lakes. It holds around nine times the volume of water that Sydney Harbour does. This lake is one of the best fisheries in the Australian Highlands holding rainbow trout, brown trout and atlantic salmon, the lake is regularly re-stocked with trout by NSW Fisheries which makes it a mecca for trout fishermen. In the summer months there is a wide spectrum of sporting, freshwater fishing and tourist activities that are available all year round in the Snowy Mountains region of the Mount Kosciusko National Park.

Walk down memory lane
My father worked in the snowy mountain hydroelectric scheme in the 1950’s following immigration from Slovenia. As a child, we used to holiday in the Old Adaminaby caravan park (trout fishing on the lake) and nothing has changed!!! Very quiet and peaceful....

Wonderful scenery
On our visit, the lake is around 33% full, but is still a wonderful sight. While attractive to boaties and fishers, is also nice to drive or walk to waters edge. Building foundations evident near boat ramp at Old Adaminiby. Access is free and uncrowded although limited facilities.
