Berry Springs Nature Park
A spring-fed pool about 50 km south of Darwin, with clear, warm water hidden among monsoon forest. It is ideal for a half-day of paddling.
Berry Springs Nature Park is made up of several warm pools fed by springs. Wooden steps and walking trails lead around the pools, surrounded by monsoon forest and paperbark trees. Visitors can wear a mask to look at small fish, and the grassy areas beside the pools are good for picnics. Swimming is allowed in the dry season once crocodiles have been ruled out, and the park is usually closed in the wet season. It is close to Territory Wildlife Park, so you can plan both for the same day. Swimming conditions change from year to year, so check the Northern Territory parks official website before you go.
