Glen Helen Gorge
An easy place to get to of the highway. Stunning little place and cool down with a swim. There is a restaurant and bar here at the lodge near by. Only a short walk from the car park.

At the moment the water is a bit low so you can walk up to the gorge. Be sure to wear proper shoes as you’ll not be walking on a track but it can be done in thongs. There’s toilets there supplied by the caravan park (has free wifi and a cafe) right next to it that were open to public.

Stunning place to visit. Bring walking shoes and if there's been quite a bit of rain, prepare to walk through small runs of water, nothing dramatic and very worth it.

At the end of the Bitumen section of the Namatjira Drive is a small general store, where you can have a refreshing drink.Behind the store is a short walk along a river bed which takes you to a pretty gorge with water in it.You can also cool down in the water if you wish.

Another beautiful Gorge on the Western Macs. Plenty of parking near the start of the trail. Path quickly devolves into a sandy/creek bed walk. Can swim when water levels are good. Water level does impact how far up the Gorge you can go.

Glen Helen GorgeVisited on 9/6/2021Glen Helen Gorge is a gorge on the Finke River, located 132 kilometres (82 mi) west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.The gorge is about 200 m from the Glen Helen Lodge, which is closed temporarily until 4 August 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.The path towards the river that cuts through the gorge is neither sandy nor pebbly. It is covered with small to medium-size stones, some having rather sharp edges. There are also patches of overgrown" grass. It is not advisable to walk bare-footed or with tongs.The water is cold

We visited this along with many other places on the West Macdonell Range. This was one I would skip, the water was low and you couldn't even see anything that well due to the high grass. We walked as far as we could and just thought it was a waste of our time. Head to Ormiston Gorge nearby for better views and walk options.

If you had asked me what the oldest river in the world was, I would have guessed the Nile, Colorado or the Indus. However these are relative new comers when compared to the Finke which takes the prize at 350-400 million years. While not a particulary large river is it a spectacular landscape. Had a great stay at Glen Helen Gorge and while the facilities are aged the friendly atmosphere and stunning scenery made it memorable.

Beautiful and well worth the trip. We stayed at the caravan park and it was great - wonderful facilities, food and staff. Highly recommend for a couple days to enjoy the surrounding gorges - we then travelled to Kings Canyon via the mereenie loop which was an experience itself.
