Khancoban Pondage

- Cast a line in accessible fishing spots, perfect for anglers of all skill levels to reel in a catch.
- Stroll along scenic walking paths, especially vibrant in Spring and Autumn with wildflowers and colourful falling leaves.
- Enjoy a picnic by the lake with facilities including barbeques and picnic areas, ideal for a relaxing day outdoors.
Khancoban Pondage is a three-kilometre-long lake that forms part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme, and around its foreshores lies the town of Khancoban, a town built specifically to house the workers of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, which commenced in 1949.
Unlike the higher altitude lakes and impoundments of the Scheme, Khancoban, at only 298 metres altitude, is more dairy country than high country. However, with the awesome backdrop of Australia’s highest snow-covered mountains, the scenery is stunningly beautiful. In Spring and Autumn, with wildflowers and falling leaves of all colours, it is a photographer’s paradise!
The lake is accessible to all forms of fishing, and boats are well catered for with an easy access cemented boat ramp.
