With quite a few renovations in the last several years, Katherine hot springs has become a popular destination to unwind after a long day in Northern Australia. Located next to Katherine River, their crystal clear pools along with campgrounds, picnic area, and scenic trails gives this place a unique experience.
The springs is heated from underground, with rather tepid waters. If you are looking for boiling hot water, you won’t find that here. Katherine hot springs is still perfect in those cooler seasons and with the renovations it’s become much better than years past. Raised walking and viewing platforms have added the scenery needed and better walking paths gives tourists a chance to go explore the area.
Outside of the clear water there are several thermal pools for you to enjoy. The main area (great for swimming) flows to another pool with a waterfall effect that then flows into another pool. If you want to keep going you’ll run into the Katherine River. For those planning on making a day out of Katherine natural hot springs, bring some lunch and enjoy a fun picnic as you take a break from a relaxing an rejuvenating soak.
