Information

No vehicle access beyond this point. Walk to falls (swimming area) is 7km return via a series of very steep roller coaster hills (17% incline). Allow at least 2 hours.
The way out has more elevation so the good news is once you reach the top you can enjoy the swimming, views and the walk back feels 100% easier.
There is a toilet and cold shower plus water tap here at the carpark but no shade. Limited parking so don't bring caravans.
No bikes allowed on path - strictly walking only.
