Lake Hume, a large reservoir nearby, is popular for boating, swimming and fishing.

Albury also works as a staging point between the Hume Highway route and the Snowy Mountains further east.
Best road trips from Albury
Rutherglen and the Murray wine region
About 30–45 minutes, an easy half-day or full day. Cellar doors clustered close together make Rutherglen one of the more walkable wine regions in the country if you park the van at one and explore on foot.
The Snowy Mountains
About 2 hours east via Tumbarumba or Corryong, 2–4 days. Alpine scenery and, in winter, access to the Thredbo and Perisher ski fields; summer brings walking trails around Kosciuszko National Park instead.
Echuca and the Murray River paddle-steamer towns
About 2.5 hours west, 1–2 days. Historic river port with working paddle-steamers, a different stretch of the Murray to Albury’s own foreshore.

Best time to visit
A year-round stopover town. Summer suits river and lake activities on the Murray and Lake Hume; autumn is harvest season in Rutherglen and a good time for a wine-focused stop.
