Little Annan River Rest Area

Perched at the convergence of Scrubby Creek and Annan River, the Little Annan River Rest Area presents a rugged yet enriching nature getaway. Despite its rough terrain that may not suit caravans, it's a paradise for fishing enthusiasts and those wanting to enjoy a refreshing river dip. An idyllic swimming destination, Little Annan garners popularity during the summer months. Safety from crocodiles and potable water are additional benefits. Though devoid of tables or seats, the area offers natural shelter against the elements. The rest area neighbors the highway, and despite an uneven terrain, can accommodate smaller vans. Its location is a stone's throw away from local landmarks - the cryptic Black Mountains (3km away) and the historic Lions Den (4km away). Embrace the mystique and history of the region while you unwind at the Little Annan River Rest Area.
