Only a 15-minute drive from the town centres you will find the stunning Lake Hume. Also known as Hume Dam and Hume Weir, Lake Hume is perfect for boating, yachting, fishing, swimming and water-skiing. You can also paddle board, enjoy a picnic, or just relax under a shady tree by the water. There are sandy beaches and reserves with barbecues and picnic facilities which line the picturesque foreshore. Lake Hume holds three million mega litres of water, approximately six times the volume of water in Sydney Harbour.
