Annan River
Annan River
is quite a large river south of Cooktown.
It starts near Shiptons Flat south of Helenvale, and runs past Lions Den Hotel and Black Mountain National Park to the coast where it mouths just south of Cooktown.
The national park (and resources reserve) also cover areas like Archer Point and Walker Bay.
The most obvious place to see it is of course from the old Big Annan River Bridge - once one of the largest of its kind in Australia.

Fishing is very popular here and there is a boat ramp just east of the bridge.

Another good place is Pooles Lagoon - turn in west just south of the bridge.

Further south, at the start of Mulligan Highway, is the Little Annan Gorge, which is beautiful, and has some great swimming spots on the southern side of the bridge :-)
