All About

Potoroo Falls

Highlights

From the picnic area, follow Potoroo Falls walk approximately one kilometre upstream along Little Run Creek to the tranquil, scenic waterfall and swimming hole. At the start of the track, you’ll spot the largest recorded watergum in New South Wales, not to mention many species of rainforest trees and interesting plant life and wildlife along the way. As the route follows the creek, it involves some rock-hopping, so be prepared for wet feet and a bit of splashing.

Don’t forget to take your swimming gear for a dip at the beautiful swimming hole – it’s the perfect place for cooling down when the weather is hot.

Important Information

Guidelines

Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for the most up to date information.
Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
Ensure you observe all safety signs. Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
Wear suitable footwear and always ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements when exploring Australia.

Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
