Carripook railway station was located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line serving the Adelaide Hills suburb of Bridgewater to the east of the Kain Avenue level crossing.[1]

It consisted of one 67 metre platform with a waiting shelter. The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater.

It was probably demolished around 1995 when the railway line was converted from broad to standard gauge.
