Summary: The Henrietta Creek waterhole is a small swimming hole along the creek, below the campground.

Reached by a short walking path and just below the carpark, is the small Henrietta Creek waterhole. Surrounded by rainforest, the pool has a sandy bank where you enter the water, and a table on the grass above the creek. It can get fairly busy, as the swimming hole is the closest to the Henrietta Creek Campground – although I was lucky to have it to myself after completing the Nandroya Falls Loop bushwalk.
