Eucumbene River

Eucumbene River is a gentle watercourse in New South Wales, Australia, flowing through the Snowy Mountains. It originates from the Eucumbene Dam and feeds into the larger Murrumbidgee River system. The river's environment supports diverse wildlife and offers scenic views, making it popular for fishing, camping, and outdoor activities. Its clear waters are vital for local ecosystems and agricultural communities. The river plays a key role in the region’s water management, especially as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, which is a major hydroelectric and water diversion system in Australia.
