About this place
What to expect
Mannus Lake sits within the peaceful Mannus State Forest, just a short 10‑kilometre drive from Tumbarumba along Mannus Lake Road. This scenic spot is a favourite for campers, caravanners and day visitors, offering relaxed waterfront camping and sweeping views across the lake. It's an easy place to unwind, enjoy nature, or simply stop in for a picnic by the water. To reach the lake, follow Jingellic Road and turn onto Mannus Lake Road, then continue on to the campground. Lake users should avoid areas with green-coloured surface algae, especially when it appears in large patches, and should keep themselves and pets out of the water in these conditions.
