Only a 15-minute drive from Albury Holiday Park, Lake Hume is one of the Murray region’s most spectacular outdoor playgrounds. With its vast blue waters, rolling hills and open skies, it’s a favourite spot for boating, fishing, swimming, and lakeside picnics.
A Playground for All Ages
Lake Hume offers something for everyone — whether you’re casting a line from the shore, launching a kayak at sunrise, or simply taking in the panoramic views from the dam wall. Families can enjoy swimming areas, shaded picnic spots, and walking trails, while adventure seekers can try stand-up paddleboarding or water-skiing on calm days.
Scenic Beauty and History
Beyond recreation, Lake Hume is steeped in history. Completed in 1936, the Hume Dam is an engineering marvel that provides water to much of the Murray-Darling Basin. The Hume Dam Wall Lookout offers sweeping views across the lake — a fantastic photo stop at any time of day.
Perfect for Picnics and Sunsets
Pack a lunch or grab local produce from Albury’s markets and enjoy a relaxed picnic by the water. As evening sets in, the light over the lake turns golden — a peaceful reminder of why this spot is so loved by locals and travellers alike.
