Sweetwater Pool
Highlights
Sweetwater Pool is a peaceful oasis at the end of the Jatbula Trail in Nitmiluk National Park. This tranquil spot is perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the reflections on its still waters. It’s also a great place to camp under the stars.
Fun fact: Sweetwater Pool is surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush vegetation, making it a unique and serene escape. The 4.5-kilometre trail from Leliyn/Edith Falls to Sweetwater is an easy walk with plenty of beautiful scenery along the way.
Adult Supervision RecommendedThe swimming areas can have uneven surfaces, so make sure an adult is nearby for safety.
