Information

Holds up to 52,000 megalitres or 52 GL to provide the head pondage for Tumut 1 underground power station. Infrequently the water can be diverted eastwards into Lake Eucumbene for storage, but usually Tumut River waters are diverted at Happy Jacks as its level is always higher than Eucumbene. A scenic 15 min drive from Cabramurra along a winding but tarred road drops 300m to the dam crest roadway. Access closed in winter as snowfalls are not cleared and a locked gate prevents entry.
