All About

Walker Creek

Highlights

The Walker Creek walk is a 3.5 kilometre return walk along a crystal clear creek in Litchfield National Park. It is graded moderate and should take you about 2 hours. Be sure to carry your swimming gear - you can swim in the creek near the picnic area or at the shared camping and swimming hole at the end of the walk. As you hike alongside crystal clear Walker Creek, pause to appreciate the pristine waterholes and enjoy the tranquillity of this amazing national park. Spot local wildlife and listen to the curious bird calls from some of Litchfield’s 169 recorded species that inhabit this forest area.

Secluded camping sites are nestled along the creek, so pack the tent and make a night of it among the wallabies and possums. Walker Creek provides Link Walk access to Litchfield National Parks’ challenging 39 kilometre overnight Tabletop Track hike.
