Patons Hut walking track
Highlights
Step back in time with the Patons Hut Walking Track in the Snowy Mountains! This scenic trail winds through tall mountain gums, pretty wildflowers, and peaceful frost hollows. Keep your eyes open—you might spot kangaroos, wallabies, or even a wombat if you’re lucky!
The highlight of the walk is Patons Hut, a historic grazier's hut first built in 1934. It’s been beautifully restored and offers a glimpse into the region's past. After exploring the hut, enjoy a picnic or try your luck fishing at nearby Tooma Dam. This is a perfect adventure for families who love history and nature!
