About

Set in a valley in the Yarrangobilly area of the Snowy Mountains, Yarrangobilly Caves Thermal Pool is a peaceful natural retreat.

The main pool is 20 metres long and 2.5 metres deep and flows like a gentle waterfall into a children's wading pool. A natural spring around 1 kilometre below the surface fills the pool with warm water that contains some minerals, keeping the temperature at 27 degrees Celsius all year.

The pool is next to a picnic area with change rooms and toilets making it ideal for a day out. As you relax, look out for water dragons and platypus that enjoy the peaceful surrounds of the pool and nearby river.

In summer, come for a quick swim and a picnic. In winter, experience the magic of floating in the warmth as mist rises from the water and snow blankets the ground around you.

Access is via the short but steep thermal pool walk, or along Yarrangobilly River walk loop. If you have accessibility needs, please contact the Visitor Centre to enquire about access.
