About this place
What to expect
Leliyn (Edith Falls) is known for its picturesque waterfalls and excellent swimming, with refreshing water available year-round. It's located on the western side of Nitmiluk National Park, approximately 60 km north of Katherine along the Stuart Highway. The grassy, scenic campground is a peaceful bush setting, ideal for relaxing after a swim or hike. A well-equipped kiosk offers meals and refreshments. Swim in the paperbark and pandanus-fringed natural pool at the base of the falls, open most of the year. Swimming may be restricted between November and April, depending on seasonal conditions. People with limited mobility can use an electric pool lift to access the lower pool. Get the battery from the kiosk before using the lift. Leliyn is also a great spot for bushwalking. The 2.6 km Leliyn Trail is a challenging loop walk with steep, rocky sections and a chance for a swim in the upper pool halfway through. For a longer option, the 9 km return walk to Sweetwater Pool leads to a peaceful swimming hole. Leliyn is the end point of the Jatbula Trail, which starts at the Gorge end of Nitmiluk National Park.
