We have just spent 4 months in Darwin which included multiple trips to check out the best swimming spots in the beautiful Litchfield National Park.
It’s no secret that the Territory is HOT all year around but these are the best places to cool off in our favourite National Park – LITCHFIELD!
1. Surprise Falls
Surprise Falls was our NUMBER 1!!!
It’s located just off the Reynolds track which is 4WD access only and because of this it’s usually one of the quieter places to swim!
A short 800m walk from the car park through monsoonal forest where you’ll find a large pool, with hidden rock pools above it!
You can climb to the top of the rock pools and jump into the main pool!
2. Tjaynera/Sandy Creek Falls
A close 2nd was the amazing Sandy Creek Falls!
Also just off the Reynolds track so 4WD access only.
A pretty 3.4km return hike over rocky terrain will lead you to this running, fresh waterfall with a large pool at the bottom.
There is a great campground that is worth staying if you have time and its only $15 each per night with showers, toilets and fire pits.

**This was the only National Park Campground in the NT that we found had no mozzies/bugs at night which we were stoked about!**
3. Florence Falls
Our 3rd FAV!
Located in the north of the National Park and is accessible via 2WD so it does get pretty busy!
A short walk down 160 steps (or 1km track) leads you to a huge flowing waterfall with crystal clear fresh-water!
Perfect to cool off during a hot dry season day in the NT!
Litchfield was our Favourite National Park and we hope you love these beautiful swimming spots as much as we did!
