Geehi Dam, Embankment dam in Snowy Mountains, Australia
Geehi Dam is an embankment dam in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales that crosses the Geehi River and creates a large reservoir. The structure holds water for electricity generation and irrigation, with viewing areas positioned around the surrounding lake.
The structure was completed in the 1960s as part of a large-scale water management program developed over several decades. It was built to control river flow and support electricity generation across the wider mountain region.
The dam forms part of a major water management project that shaped how the region generates electricity and manages water resources. Visitors can see how this infrastructure blends into the mountain landscape around it.
The best time to visit is during dry weather, as the pathways around the dam and reservoir are easier to navigate. Wear sturdy shoes and allow time to enjoy views from different vantage points along the structure.
The dam features a large surface outlet that can rapidly discharge enormous volumes of water during extreme conditions. This design shows how engineers solved the challenge of managing water flow safely in this mountain setting.
