nymboida river
The Nymboida is beautiful and rugged, with spectacular granite gorges and rainforest-lined river banks.
The Nymboida River is a popular destination for our Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions. The river rises in the northern foothills of the Barren Mountain on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range, within Bellinger River National Park, west of Dorrigo. Annual high rainfall on the Dorrigo Plateau produces strong river flows during most seasons. The river descends 1,250 metres over its 165 kilometre course.
Flowing through Nymboi-Binderay National Park from Platypus Flat to The Junction confluence with the Little Nymboida River, there is a 27 kilometres of rapid and pool sequences, making this a popular kayaking and white water rafting venue. Located 13 kilometres from the source is Rob Roys Falls, a 90 metres cascade while further down river lies The Silent Pool, a geological mystery where the river goes underground via a fault line and returns under a large pool.
