What people say
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.
Great hike, muddy in some areas, pool area, close to waterfall train station
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
Nice, quiet and easy to go national park 🏞.Available by train. Small waterfalls, not many people. No spots to refill your water tank so take water with you. Some tracks are pretty narrow (Marley track)
