Clarke Gorge Walking Trail

Highlights

Get ready to explore a magical world at Clarke Gorge Walking Trail in the Snowy Mountains! This trail takes you through an amazing gorge carved by Cave Creek, with towering limestone cliffs and hidden caves on either side. At the end of the trail, you’ll reach the stunning Cave Creek Falls, where water tumbles down a 15m drop into sparkling pools below. It’s like stepping into a secret wonderland!

Keep your eyes open for kangaroos bouncing by and eagles soaring overhead. Plus, you might even spot some rare plants with funny names like yellow billy buttons! If you love fishing, bring your gear because there are cool waterholes where you can try catching trout. This is an epic adventure for little explorers who love nature!
