Wheeny Gap Falls
Important to read this blog before attempting the walk.
Wheeny Gap Falls is a bit of an adventure that takes you to two stunning swimming holes. North Wheeny Gap trail is accessed from Mountain Lagoon Road which leads off Bells Line of Road at Bilpin. Access to Wheeny Gap falls is via a 6km rough dirt North Wheeny Gap trail. Although this would normally be considered a 4WD trail, dry conditions made it suitable for me to drive most of the way in my 2WD reducing our walk to around 6km return.
Note we could have driven further along to reduce the distance but we felt we needed to stretch our legs and not be too lazy 😊
Warnings
The walk down to Wheeny Gap Falls is steep and at points very slippery. It would be treacherous during or directly after heavy rain.
Some navigational skills required as the descent is not marked and difficult to find and can create problems entering and returning if missed.
I did rely on my AllTrails app for GPS plotting for this part of the walk.
For this reason I would rate this walk as hard and for experienced bushwalkers only.
Good walking shoes a must. 🥾 🥾
Once again my Keen Ridge waterproof shoes were perfect for this all terrain adventure.
