Killen Falls is located just downstream from the Emigrant Creek Dam in the Killen Falls Public Reserve. There is a swimming hole and an rocky overhang which creates a small cave. It’s a really beautiful location with towering rocky cliffs surrounding the waterhole. The water is a little cloudy and there can be a bit of duckweed in the waterhole at times. Take the Boodgeragah Walk to get to the base of the falls and swimming hole.
There is a portaloo and a small grassed area with lots of shade near the carpark. A picnic table can be found near the Emigrant Creek Dam lookout along The Water Walk.
