Jay Creek is the Trailhead for Sections 2 and 3 of the Larapinta Trail.

Keep an eye out for the wallabies which take shelter in the boulders and overhangs. If you are walking east from Jay Creek along section 2, you pass through a large area of Mulga Woodland.

Jay Creek flows from the north-west through a rugged gorge for about 1km, cutting through the Chewings Range.

Located a the gorge's southern end, is a deep permanent pool known as Fish Hole, where the rocky floor narrows to just a few metres across.
