Kambah Pool

Kambah Pool is a popular natural swimming area on the Murrumbidgee River in the suburb of Kambah in southern Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Set within the Murrumbidgee River Corridor nature reserve, it features a sandy river beach, calm pool area and surrounding bushland. Managed as a recreation reserve by the ACT Government, it is notable for swimming, picnicking and riverside walks close to the city, offering a natural river setting within an urban district.

Visitors can expect a sandy river beach on a wide bend of the Murrumbidgee River surrounded by eucalypt bushland and rocky banks. The reserve has a grassed picnic area above the river with barbecues and tables, and a steep sealed path leading down to the water. The river pool is used for swimming and paddling, with open areas for picnicking, fishing and riverside walking. There are no shops on site and the setting is natural and bushland-focused.
