Bitter Springs Circuit
940 m
Circuit
15 min to 30 min
Starting from the Bitter Springs picnic area, this walk takes visitors on a stroll through the Australian outback. Visitors can expect to see crystal-clear water --warm year-round-- and lush greenery. The path is well-formed and gentle, with two sets of stairs to enter/exit the creek. If you don't want to deal with the crowd at Mataranka pools, this is your spot. From the car park to the stairs (with handrails), the path is wheelchair-accessible. You can't camp here, but the nearby Jalmurark Campground has BBQs, showers and toilets. Visitors should exercise caution when swimming or exploring the area, as there are potential hazards such as freshwater crocodiles. It's important to heed the signs and warnings about crocodile safety and avoid swimming if there has been a spotting (check online beforehand, along with the weather conditions). Despite the "freshie" situation, the Bitter Springs Walk offers a unique and breathtaking experience. Swimming against the current is not recommended. The walks and pools are closed right now, but it is planned to reopen this area on the first of February 2023. Let us begin by acknowledging the Mangarayi and Yangman people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
