For the adventurous, there is wakeboarding, water skiing, tube-riding, and stand-up paddleboarding.

For those who like a gentler pace, the foreshore is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic, fire up a barbecue and experience the mountain views while you connect with friends and family.

Fishing enthusiasts have been casting off into Lake Hume for generations. Try your luck hooking one of the local freshwater specialties, Murray Cod, Rainbow Trout, Redfin and Golden Perch. Before you bait your hook make sure to grab yourself a Victorian Fishing License that covers you for the entirety of Lake Hume (NSW and Victoria).
