Jindabyne: Art by the Lake and Trails

Jindabyne offers a variety of reasons to visit: information about Kosciuszko National Park at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre, art at Lake Jindabyne and the Jindabyne Shared Trail. When choosing a hotel in Jindabyne, these specific themes can help you plan your stay around art, an event or outdoor activity. Check dates and changing visitor conditions for your travel period.

Visitor Centre and local art

The Snowy Region Visitor Centre in Jindabyne provides visitor information, brochures, maps and entry passes for Kosciuszko National Park. The centre brings together different kinds of guidance to help you prepare for a visit to the park. Services and opening arrangements may change; check the latest information before your visit.

The Visitor Centre also has a small gallery featuring local art exhibitions. This adds a cultural activity at the same location as the visitor information. As the exhibition program may change, check whether an exhibition will be running during your travel period.

Art at Lake Jindabyne

Eclipsed Grotto is a ceramic fire sculpture on the shore of Lake Jindabyne in Jindabyne. It can be found there when water levels are low. If you specifically want to see this work, take the water level into account when planning and check the current conditions on site.

Lake Light Sculpture takes place each year on the Easter long weekend on the shore of Lake Jindabyne. The next event is scheduled for 26–29 March 2027. If the event is the reason for your trip, compare your travel dates with this period and check the dates before booking.

The two art attractions have different timing considerations: Eclipsed Grotto depends on low water levels, while Lake Light Sculpture takes place during the annual Easter long weekend. Decide whether your trip depends more on current lake conditions or on a set event period.

Jindabyne Shared Trail

The Jindabyne Shared Trail offers up to 30 kilometres of trails for walkers, runners and cyclists. On the eastern side of Lake Jindabyne, it runs from Banjo Paterson Park to Tyrolean Village; a western section extends to Hatchery Bay. The descriptions distinguish between the two sides of the lake: the eastern side has a named route with a start and end point, while the western side has a section extending to Hatchery Bay.

The option to walk, run or cycle gives you different ways to plan your time on the trail. Start by choosing an activity; the named sides of the lake and endpoints can then help you identify a section. The stated maximum of up to 30 kilometres refers to the trail network and does not automatically apply to any one section. The network length may change as it is extended. When planning a section, the side of the lake and the specific endpoints are therefore more important than the total distance alone; check the latest trail description.
