BOATING

The picturesque and vast inland lakes of the High Country are perfect for boating in all seasons.

Boaters are spoiled for choice in the High Country, even in the cooler months. Hire or bring your own vessel to explore tranquil, mist-shrouded lakes, mighty rivers and secluded bays. For a unique escape, cruise the vast waters of Lake Eildon from the warmth of a luxury houseboat.
