Island Bend Dam impounds the waters of the
Snowy River below
Guthega Power Station. It's intake shaft connects to
the junction of 2 tunnels. Firstly, water can be diverted into
Lake Eucumbene for storage via the two way Eucumbene-Snowy tunnel. Returning to
the junction at
Island Bend the water flows secondly through the Snowy-
Geehi tunnel which is joined at its start by a third tunnel from
Jindabyne Pumping Station. The flow is one way to
Geehi Reservoir to then supply Murray 1 and 2 Power Stations.
The pondage can be covered in ice in July but provides a refreshing swim in January.
