The Kangaroo River then turns its course to the southwest and flows through the Upper Kangaroo Valley settlement and the small town of Kangaroo Valley into Morton National Park . There the river flows into Lake Yarrunga , a reservoir formed by the Shoalhaven River .
In the small town of Kangaroo Valley, the historic Hampden Bridge spans the river.
