Running Waters - WA

Running Waters was previously more well known to locals who worked at nearby Woodie Woodie mine as Eel Pool. It is a long, narrow channel of deep water that is warm due to the presence upstream of a thermal spring. The pool is in fact one of the many channels that make up the Oakover River. The pristine waters are shaded by ancient paperbark trees and is safe for swimming. While the pool is accessible by vehicle, it is not suitable for towing caravans. There is a cleared area suitable for caravans about 500 metres before the pool where the river valley begins.
