The present rural village of Adaminaby resulted from the damming of the Eucumbene River to form Lake Eucumbene, part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. The original township, now under water, was relocated before the surrounding valleys were flooded. Many buildings were dismantled and re-erected at new Adaminaby.
Adaminaby’s proximity to Selwyn Snowfields makes it a great location for skiers in winter. During summer, it offers fantastic fishing, water sports, bushwalking and horse riding.

- There are 2 Petrol Stations.

- For summer holiday makers, there is a public swimming pool or, of course, there is Lake Eucumbene and the Murrumbidgee River.
