Whites River Hut is a backcountry hut in Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales, Australia. The hut is well-known due to its excellent location near trails for nordic and backcountry skiing. In summer the hut often serves as a lunch break for walkers headed from Guthega to Valentine Hut. Many camp close to the hut and do day walks in the local area. Such walks often include climbing Mount Gungarten.
