Circular Pool
A deep, secluded pool at the eastern end of Dales Gorge, enclosed on three sides by curving cliffs and visible from a clifftop lookout.
The Circular Pool lies at the eastern end of Dales Gorge, surrounded on three sides by towering curved rock walls. Water seeping from the rock crevices and the ferns make the spot especially cool and quiet. You can look down from the Circular Pool lookout on the clifftop, walk to the pool along the gorge-floor trail, or take a steep path down from the car park (about 1 hour return). The pool gets little sunlight all day and the water is very cold. The lower descent trail was temporarily closed due to rockfall risk, so check the Parks and Wildlife Service notices before setting out.
