A secluded oasis, with crystal clear waters!

Little-known Long Pool misses out on all the plaudits of nearby Honeymoon Pool, but that only makes this location even more special. 

Secluded, with few crowds and a spectacular swimming space shaded by peppermint trees, Long Pool is a top choice for a quiet, family adventure.

Insider Info

Bring floaties and pool toys for kids as the river is very deep - there are no shallow paddling areas other than the bottom of the steps which drop off into deep water.

In addition to being deep, the water is also on the colder side, making it a perfect swim spot for those hot summer days.

Do remember to take your rubbish with you as bins are not provided.

Access

Long Pool can be accessed via 2WD. As the road is quite windy and narrow, it may not be suitable for larger vehicles (e.g. vehicles with trailers).

The pool is not visible from the car park - follow the path from the carpark through the bush and it will take you to a small wooden deck with stairs leading straight to the water’s edge.

In the Area...

In addition to Long Pool, there are four other equally picturesque swim and picnic spots along Lennard Drive, just a few minutes’ drive away from each other. We suggest you pack a picnic and explore all of them! 

Starting at Wellington Dam, the first stop on Lennard Drive is The Rapids, followed by Big Rock, Little Rock and then Long Pool. At the end of Lennard Drive, cross the bridge and you will reach Honeymoon Pool. 

Do note that this is a one-way road, so you’ll need to do a whole loop around to access the swim spot you’d just passed.
