Talbingo Dam, completed in 1971, is the largest of the sixteen dams in the Snowy Mountains Scheme, serving as a major hydroelectric power generator. The dam impounds the Talbingo Reservoir, which spans 1,935.5 hectares and reaches depths up to 110 meters. Visitors can enjoy a range of recreational activities, including fishing for species like brown and rainbow trout, golden perch, and redfin. Boating, waterskiing, and swimming are popular, with designated areas and a boat ramp available. The dam's wall offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain scenery. Accommodations in Talbingo include the Talbingo Country Club Motel, Talbingo Tourist Caravan Park, and various self-contained cabins. Dining options range from Australian and Chinese meals at the Country Club to modern Australian cuisine at Talbingo Lodge. The area also offers bushwalking, mountain biking, and access to the Selwyn Snowfields for winter sports enthusiasts.
