Just over a 7km loop through the Douglas-Apsley National Park to see beautiful waterholes and the gorge.
The Apsley Waterhole and Gorge are at the southern end of the park, they are reached by taking the Rosedale Road off the A3 Tasman Highway about 3km north of Bicheno. Rosedale Road leads you to the car parking area at the southern end of the NP.

This walk starts as a gentle stroll through open woodland before reaching the surprising and lovely Apsley Waterhole. The beautifully tranquil pool in the Apsley River begs you to stop and gaze into its waters. Or if the weather’s right, you might want to wade or swim in the delightfully clear water. The walk crosses the river and leads you up through dry, open forest. It soon descends back to the river at the Apsley Gorge. In dry weather it’s possible to make this a circuit walk by returning along the river. Otherwise return the way you came.
The Douglas and Apsley Rivers are home to an endangered native fish called the Australian Grayling, which grows to about 30 cm in length. They are dark greenish to greyish olive along the back, lighter and silvery on the sides with a whitish belly.
No permits/costs...just your parks pass!
