Euroka Campground - Darug	Alt = m
The Darug (sometimes labeled Daruk) campsite is found the Euroka Clearing, in the Glenbrook region of the Blue Mountains National Park. There are about 20 camping spaces to choose from in this area. Tap water is available at the park entrance. The campsite has a wheelchair-accessible toilet (access over grassy terrain) and a few metal fireplaces. The campsite is surrounded by large gum trees and is right at the base of a steep hill to the north.

(0 km) Top of Darug campsite car park to Darug and Bennetts Ridge Bridge clearing Walk: Easy - bushtrack	Length = 149 m	Time = 2 mins
	Climb = 0 m	Descent = -5 m
From the Darug campsite car park, this walk heads around the gate and through the campsite. Tending to the right, this walk follows the fence line past the 'please use walkway' sign, down the wide trail and across the metal bridge. On the other side of the bridge, the walk comes to an intersection in a grassing clearing.

(0.15 km) Darug and Bennetts Ridge Bridge clearing to Int of Nepean River and Euroka Creek tracks Track: Moderate - bushtrack	Length = 806 m	Time = 18 mins
	Climb = 37 m	Descent = -36 m
Continue straight: From the intersection and clearing, this walk follows the 'Nepean River' sign across the flat grassy area (keeping the creek to the left). At the other end of the clearing, the walk follows the track up and then down a few steps as it follows the creek edge. The track gently winds its way up and around the hill, crossing a few timber platforms (small bridges) and passing some old wire fences. As the walk progress, the gully on the left becomes much deeper. The track soon heads down some steps and bends right, providing some glimpses down to the Nepean River. Just after this bend, the walk comes to a 'Y' intersection (and a sign pointing to the 'Nepean River').

(0.96 km) Int of Nepean River and Euroka Creek tracks to Junction of Nepean River and Euroka Creek Track: Hard - bushtrack	Length = 253 m	Time = 7 mins
	Climb = 3 m	Descent = -59 m
Turn left: From the intersection, this walk heads down the steps, following the 'Nepean River' sign. Next, the track crosses a small timber bridge before stepping down the rocks on a sharp left-hand bend and crossing another timber bridge. The walk continues down more steps and through a weedy section of bush, then into a small gully. The clear track heads through this gully to the bank of the Nepean River (just a few metres from Euroka Creek, on the left).

Junction of Nepean River and Euroka Creek	Alt = 21 m
At the bottom of the Euroka-Nepean River Track there is a small clearing on the bank of the Nepean River. The eroded clearing is just a few meters south of where the Euroka Creek drains into the Nepean. This is a great spot to enjoy the river and watch the boats go by. Some people use this spot to access the Nepean for a swim, although care would be needed.

(1.21 km) Junction of Nepean River and Euroka Creek to Int of Nepean River track and Bennetts Ridge trail Track: Hard - bushtrack	Length = 572 m	Time = 16 mins
	Climb = 104 m	Descent = -7 m
Turn around: From the Nepean River, this walk follows the clear track up through the gully, ducking under the tree. The track climbs the steps and heads through a weedy section of bush. Soon after crossing a small wooden bridge, the walk steps up the rocks on the sharp right-hand bend, then crosses another small wooden bridge. After this bend, the track heads up more stairs to come to a 'T' intersection and a sign pointing back down to the 'Nepean River'. Veer left: From the intersection, this walk heads up the steps following the 'Euroka Via Bennetts Ridge' sign. As the track winds up the hill, it passes a couple more 'Euroka Via Bennetts Ridge' signs. Soon after passing a rock platform, the track comes to a turning circle at the end of an old management trail (with a sign pointing back down to the 'Nepean River'). From here, the walk follows the old management trail gently up the hill for about 80m, coming to a 'T' intersection with the signposted 'Bennetts Ridge Fire Trail'.
