All About

Spring Creek Falls

Highlights

Hidden away in the secluded Mowbray Valley, Spring Creek Falls is a popular swimming spot amongst the locals. At the end of Spring Creek Road lies the beginning of the walk to the falls. With no specific path, simply follow the creek along to the falls – there’s plenty of small waterholes and waterfalls along the way. Exercise caution on the uneven and rocky ground on your way up. Once arrived, relax and enjoy a swim in the deep rock pools.

Be sure to bring plenty of water and some food up with you as the trek is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours each way.
