Nymboida River

The Nymboida River, a magnet for whitewater sports

Rising in the foothills of the Barren Mountain, part of the Great Dividing Range near Bellinger National Park is the start of the Nymboida River. High rainfall on the Dorrigo Plateau flow into the river delivering strong flows. The river starts with a meandering course before being joined by nine tributaries before meeting up with the Mann River within the Nymboida National Park. The river descends 1,250 meters over 165 kilometers as it travels through the Great Dividing Range.

White Water Rafting & Kayaking on the Nymboida River

The Nymboida has developed a strong following within the rafting and white water kayaking community within the Nymboi-Binderay National Park section from Platypus Flat to The Junction confluence with the Little Nymboida River. Here a 27 kilometer section of granite gorges and banks provide the ideal environment for rapids and pools, allowing for some Grade 3-4 rapids for the whitewater rafting and kayaking adventurer.
