North Wheeny Gap Trail into Lagoon Creek - February 2026

Starting out on the Wheeny Creek North Track, just off the Mountain Lagoon Road. The Wheeny Creek North Track is a relatively flat fire trail, it terminates before the the steep descent into the creek, then the path was very steep indistinct pad. I negotiated down this on all fours clambering backwards. The pool at the falls is a favourite swimming spot, but not for me this time. As I was to find out the damp environment at the falls is also a favourite habitat for leeches.
