2.6km return. Grade 3
Approx. 45min - 1 hr 30min
Jenolan River walking track (also known as Working Waters walk) is an easy walk at
Jenolan Caves that is suitable for almost everyone, all year round.
The walk takes in the amazing
Blue Lake, waterfalls, bridges and
Jenolan Caves' hydro electric
heritage, it's also great for bird watching and wildlife spotting.
Swimming is prohibited in
Blue Lake, as it's an important platypus habitat. You can swim at the
waterhole downstream, below the waterfall along Jenolan River walk.
Starting from the eastern side of Grand Arch the track provides great
views looking back up to Carlotta Arch, as it traces the edge of beautiful
Blue Lake.
Continue beyond the lake's weir, following the Jenolan River through woodland downstream. Detour to the bottom of the small waterfall and
swimming hole. While you can't swim in
Blue Lake, you can enjoy a dip at this scenic spot.
For a shorter walk, return to Grand Arch. Or, follow the track further downstream along the hillside to reach the old Jenolan Hydro Electric Power Station and
picnic area.
Bird watchers are in for a treat, with bellbirds,
rock warblers and lyrebirds often spotted amongst the area’s woodland. Goannas, kangaroos, wallabies and eastern water dragons are also never far away.
