Jerusalem Creek is a paddling destination located within Bundjalung National Park on the New South Wales north coast, near Esk (postcode 2472). The creek is managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, and enquiries can be directed to npws.richmondriver@environment.nsw.gov.au or by phone at (02) 6627 0200.

The designated paddle route begins at a pontoon launch point, providing a straightforward and accessible entry to the water. The creek is characterised by calm, tea-tree lined waters, making it suitable for canoes and kayaks. The tea-tree vegetation along the banks gives the water its distinctive tannin-stained appearance, typical of coastal creek systems in this region of New South Wales.

Jerusalem Creek is an ecologically significant wetland area, particularly for shorebirds that roost and nest along the creek banks. Paddlers are likely to encounter species such as the pied oystercatcher and beach stone-curlew. The creek traces a route toward its connection with the sea, and aerial views reveal a meandering channel with narrower distributary branches, set within lush green coastal country.

On-site facilities complement the paddling experience. The Booroora picnic area offers a place to stop after time on the water, and overnight stays are possible at Mibanbah – Black Rocks campground, which also provides barbecue and picnic facilities. The Jerusalem Creek walk, a 10.3-kilometre circuit rated Grade 3 (moderate), runs alongside the creek and can be combined with a paddling trip for those wanting a fuller day out.

Disabled access is noted as available; paddlers with specific accessibility requirements are advised to contact the operator directly for details. As the route sits within Bundjalung National Park, the park may close at times due to poor weather or fire danger, and visitors should check current alerts before travelling. The park is otherwise open year-round.
