Hike summary

A scenic walking trail following Reedy Creek from the lower pools to the waterfalls.

An adventure playground for people of all ages - it's easily navigable to walk rock-hop along the creek gully, exploring the many granite rocks, pools and waterfalls. An abundance of birdlife and wildlife can be found.

The falls flow during winter and spring, and after rains.

Park at either the lower or upper carpark. We recommend parking at the lower carpark and following the walking trail along the creek, and turning around near the upper carpark. Remember to bring plenty of drinking water.

The toilets are 150 metres from the lower carpark. The first pools are 250 metres from the lower carpark. The first waterfalls are 1 kilometre from the lower carpark.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
