Nothing’s quite like Junee for the many wonderful outdoor and adventure activities our shire has to offer. From visiting one of the Riverina’s best 18 hole golf courses to exploring the wondrous landscape of Bethungra Dam and Reserve, you can be sure that there is something for everyone when looking to get out and explore the great outdoors.
The Gold Trails and Canola Trail offers full day experiences.
Journey through history, a tantalizing array of food and wine experiences, spectacular landscapes and some exciting and award-winning attractions on the Riverina’s Canola Trail, taking in the shires of Coolamon, Junee and Temora.
Located just north of Wagga Wagga, the Canola Trail allows you to ease into relaxation mode as you explore (and indulge!) at your own pace. From the beginnings of the rail and agricultural industry to the thriving area the region is today, the trail will immerse you in the story of each shire and its people.

The Junee Urban Wetland is a hidden treasure and home to a variety of plants and animals. Explore the paths as they weave in and around the wetland. It’s a great place to take the kids and explore their region’s diverse plant and bird life.
The boardwalk around the wetland provides easy access for all ages and is a great way to get in some exercise while enjoying nature.
The Junee Golf Club has one of the Riverina’s most interesting and challenging 18 hole, 72 par golf courses.
Club selection is vitally important on most holes as there are a couple with out of bounds. Even though there are no bunkers, other hazards await the unwary golfer.
Holes range from the 519 metre par 5 third with a slight dog-leg left, to the short par 3 eighth from an elevated tee to a green below protected in front by a dry creek bed.
A course suited to both the average and longer hitters, although accuracy is needed by all golfers.
A great course for a social hit or a competition round.
Opened in March 2020, the Junee Agility Dog Park is a popular spot for locals and visitors with their K9 companions. Let your furry friends roam free and watch as they have a ball running, jumping and climbing through and over obstacles.
Located next door to the Junee Tourist Park, which offers pet-friendly accommodation.
Completed in December 2020, this all-inclusive park is a fantastic new facility for the Junee Shire.
Located at the Junee Regional Sporting and Recreation Hub, the park provides a fun and inclusive outdoor space for local kids and visitors to Junee.
The park includes a sensory play area with Aboriginal plantings and a special purpose swing for those with disabilities.
The dam covers an area of 14.65 hectares and holds 600 megalitres of water. It is on Crown Land and is managed by Junee Shire Council. Much of the land surrounding the dam is privately owned, while the remainder is leased for agricultural purposes.
