Karloo Pool is often noted as one of the best natural swimming holes in the Sydney area. The pool stretches about 20 meters long and 10 meters wide, and can reach up to 3 meters deep. There is a shallow rock ledge along the edges of the pool, which makes getting into the water fairly easy. On a hot day, the pools can get quite busy, and the water is famously clear.
