Barrington River

Head to the water for a thrilling kayak journey — or just a calm dip.

Overview

If you're chasing more of a thrill from nature, check out the white water kayaking along the surging rapids of the mighty Barrington River. Fed by the pristine, fresh waters that run from Barrington Tops, these rapids rush after periods of heavy rainfall, when the river swells to cover ground it ordinarily wouldn't. Kayaking and rafting tours are readily available, but are subject to rainfall prior, so keep an eye on the weather and get booking when the rain falls.

If you want to sleep close to the water, there's camping available at Barrington Reserve. And if you're after something less thrilling, there are lots of spots for a calm dip or a riverside picnic.
