Ideal for water lovers, this track takes in picturesque picnic spots by the Snowy River and a dip at a plunging waterfall.

Load up the four wheeler with all the family favourites, including the noodle and kayak. This trail not only showcases rugged countryside and imposing tall forests, it also exhibits stunning water displays. After a short walk from the track, jump into the pool surrounded by the spectacular amphitheatre of volcanic rock at Raymond Creek Falls.

Then take the kayak for a spin at Jackson’s Crossing Campground. If that’s not enough water fun, head to Yong Creek Waterfall and Orbost water reservoir on the way back to Orbost.
