Paradise Pool

Paradise Pool in Linden is widely celebrated as one of the Blue Mountains' most picturesque wild swimming spots, set in a lush bushland valley along Bulls Creek. Its crystal-clear waters are fed by a small cascade, creating a cool, deep pool that's perfect for swimming and relaxing in a tranquil, secluded setting. The sandy bottom means visitors can walk into the water without navigating slippery rocks. The walk to Paradise Pool is approximately 1.4–1.5 km each way, starting near Railway Parade or Linden Avenue, and takes most people less than an hour in each direction. The first part follows old Cox’s Road behind houses, then veers into bushland, descending through rocky sections and ferns to the pool itself. Paradise Pool is very popular in summer, so early or midweek visits offer. In 2021 NPWS upgraded the track and BMCC put in an 11-car car park.
