The walk is a bit challenging ( easy to moderate level ) because it has some steep parts. At the end, there's a beautiful freshwater pool called the Kingfisher Pool. It's best to park a little further away from the national park entrance, as parking is limited. There's a campsite too, but you need to book it in advance.

Nice park with good walks, wildlife and views. The routes are clearly marked but still I recommend you use an application on your phone to track your route. If you like swimming in natural pools, this national park could be the one you need to visit.

Beautiful national park only an hour from Sydney CBD. Some nice and easily accessible rock pools and stunning views from elevated areas. Some of the walking tracks aren’t well signposted, so download a map before setting off. The Kingfisher Pool is a highlight, an easy walk from Waterfall

It's quite a peaceful hike but the trail is actually very difficult, many rocks! Also the signs are not many so easily get lost. It takes me an hour to find Kingfisher pool though it supposed to be only 1.6km away. However, I still enjoy this hike very much
