Casuarina Sands Reserve

Nice natural swimming place. Some rocks and sticks popping out of the water.

Casuarina Sands is perfect to visit for swimming during the summer months and a pretty place to enjoy any other time of the year. Plenty of room for a picnic blanket and lots of shade. There is a small toilet block and water tap and limited parking. You can take an enjoyable walk along the river towards the rapids. Seasonal fishing is allowed.
As you drive in to the park from the main road, there is another road directly to the left which bends around under a bridge to another large parking area with a large toilet block and a shelter, with bbq's. The river here is more shallow with rocks and small rapids and great for kids to play around.

Great spot for a swim. Calm, deep water. Plenty of shade under the Casuarinas. Good toilet facilities. There is no playground here, and I'm not sure if there are barbeques - I haven't noticed any. Parking is a bit limited so the best bet is to go before lunch on a hot weekend day. The water is very deep so please take care.

Great facilities and very beautiful with still, quiet waters.

Really quite nice on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but don't expect a beach. The water flows conatantly so it isn't dirty, but it isn't clear either. On a really hot day the water is at a perfect temperature, and there's plenty of shade too. I wouldn't leave kids unattended, but there's no dangerous wildlife or rapids or anything like that. Take an inflatable, a nice book and enjoy. Plenty of parking also.

Really nice spot! Easy to reach from Canberra, relatively easy parking (the car park is not that big). Perfect for families!
Water was brown and I'm not used to it. In Europe we wouldn't swim in a river like that, but apparently it's ok here :)

Good to cool down when our thermometer got to 40 degrees!

Large swimming hole with BBQ area and fishing. Plenty of shade.

It has all the facilities you could want.
