Overview

Highlights

Sawpit Gorge is a picturesque waterhole ideal for swimming amidst the lovely natural surrounds near Halls Creek in the Kimberley region. Float in the peaceful waters and enjoy the backdrop of tall native trees and the striking rocky outcrop climbing out of the pool. The gorge has been formed by the Black Elvire River carving through the land and creating several deep pools.

Sawpit Gorge, also known as Sawtooth Gorge, sits just off the Duncan Road, which is one of the most scenic roads in the Kimberley region. A four wheel drive is recommended for the drive. Sawpit Gorge is a half hour drive south of Halls Creek, and four and a half hours drive south of Kununurra. Kununurra is well serviced with direct flights to and from Perth, taking just three hours each way.
