Karuah River

attractions | Karuah NSW 2324

The Karuah River is one of several beautiful rivers born in the Barrington Tops hinterland of the Barrington Coast. As their crystal clear waters tumble from the rugged peaks, they breathe life into the land; for this is the Barrington Coast - a place where the leaves touch the waters from the mountains to the sea. The Karuah River is renowned for its calm scenic beauty that's perfect for boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, swimming and scenic cruises. It's formed in the Gloucester Tops precinct of Barrington Tops National Park, flows south-eastwards for 101 kilometres and descends 600 metres.
