Introduction[edit]
Deep Pass Canyon (Nayook Canyon) is an easy, beginner friendly canyon/creek walk located out on the Newnes Plateau, at Deep Pass.
Approach[edit]
This canyon can be done both ways, from Deep Pass and head upstream where you can either exit up to the car park, or, turn around and have twice the fun. Or, from the car park, follow the access track down to Nayook Creek and head downstream and exit via Deep Pass. This is the direction we are showing, downstream.
Descent[edit]
There are a number of wide, pretty canyon sections, with the odd narrow bits as well, some pool you can jump, or, used the fixed ropes and logs in places. As always, before jumping, check the depth.
It really is an easy, "Nanna" canyon, you can get as wet as you please.
Be prepared to dodge the instagrammers who tend to come up from downstream as far as the main falls, take their pictures, look beautiful for the gram, and leave.
Exit[edit]
Depends on which way you have done it, either take the upstream entry track back to the car park, or, follow the walking track out of the canyon, then, up the old fire trail back to the car park. Both are quite easy.
