Five Islands Walking Track

The Five Islands walking track in Saltwater National Park offers a 2.4 km return journey through diverse coastal landscapes, including coastal heath, paperbark swamps, and mangroves. Starting at the Saltwater picnic area, the trail crosses Saltwater Gully into Khappinghat Nature Reserve, showcasing Aboriginal heritage sites like scarred trees and fish traps. The track provides opportunities for swimming, fishing, surfing, and sailing, with the 'five islands' in Khappinghat Creek being the largest undeveloped wetlands on the mid-north coast of NSW.
