Hi I am going to
Adaminaby on Saturday for skiing but the snow is at a zero at the moment so I would like to know if there are any
treks round
Adaminaby

Drive up the
snowy mountains hwy and turn right just past
providence portal (top end of Eucumbene) towards Lake Tantangra you can drive up and around the lake visiting
Currango homestead and come out on the
snowy mountains hwy at
Yarrangobilly caves area. There is a
gate at the Yarrangobilly end where it meets the
Snowy mountains hwy,you will need to
check wether its open at this time of year(seasonal).
The main road crosses the lake and with Tantangra at 26% the water will be close to road height so it may pay to
check this out at the fishing
shop in
Adaminaby.
Between the
dam wall and
Currango homestead there are a few side tracks to the east that are definitely worth exploring.
Just before you get to the lake itself there is a track to the right up the
hill which takes you to a trig station which has fantastic
views out over the lake
If you have decent off road mapping then you will see the tracks.
Leave early in the morning as you can certainly spend all day up there.

What sort of
treks? Have you been to
Yarrangobilly Caves? I like the drive from
Canberra to
Adaminaby via Boboyan Rd through Shannon Flat. The Namadji NP is up the northern end of that. There are a few fire trails off the
Kiandra-
Cabramurra road that are usually covered in snow this time of year. The Barry Way from
Jindabyne down to the border towards Suggan Buggan is very scenic as
well. There's a few kilometres in all that :-)

Hi, you will find that Tantangara is all locked up for winter as is just about everything that is not tar in the National Park. It will be tricky to find much at all close to
Adaminaby. You could go out to where the old town is submerged and go fishing since skiing's a no go....W

There is a
gate at the Yarrangobilly end subject to winter closures but you can still get to the
dam from the Providence end.

Hi Hunjy100, things may have changed but IMO the
gate on the road to
Tantangara Dam at Snowy Mtns Hwy near the
Providence Portal caravan park is closed in winter.... W

The only reason I say that is they are are still getting fishing reports from Tantangara in the past week.
