The Kanangra Creek rises near Mount Wallarra, below the Boyd Plateau on the western slopes of Mount Thurat, and flows generally south-east and north-east through Kanangra Gorge, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Coxs River at Konangaroo Clearing. The river descends over its course. The river is entirely contained within the world heritage-listed Kanangra-Boyd National Park.
The Kanangra Falls, a waterfall located on the river, descends in two drops.Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness
The Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness is among the largest and most rugged wilderness areas in New South Wales. Situated to the south of in the Blue Mountains and the Kanangra-Boyd National Parks, this folded belt or "Rim Rock" area is markedly different from the Permo-Triassic sandstone dominated landforms which comprise the rest of the Blue Mountains. The Kanangra Gorge, along the river floor, is cut deep in rocks of the Lambie Group, and is one of Australia's deepest gorges.
