Charlie’s Rock

Charlie's rock is a popular local summer swimming hole, it's a great place to enjoy a refreshing dip on a hot day. The waterfall flows out of surrounding cliffs, building up a warm layer of water in the pool in summer months. The start of the track is located next to the lawn bowl club just before the bridge. The surrounding rocks ( 1 - 6 meters high ) are enjoyed by many local youths for leaping off into the deep pool. And yes, not many visitors seem able to find it! The path to it is just next to the croquet club on Landing Road, on the way out of Kerikeri on the northern side. Use caution in water - check the current, check the water depth before jumping. Always respect the natural environment of what is considered one of the area's finest swimming spots.
