A 50-metre return walk to the lookout takes 5 minutes, while the Wompoo circuit of 1.3km takes 45 minutes. The area offers diverse activities from bushwalking to birdwatching, mountain biking, cooking classes, and strawberry picking, with a self-drive scenic circuit connecting nearby villages like Kenilworth and Maleny.

Cool little trail amongst the trees. Didn't get a good view of the Falls but still worth the visit

Some beautiful lookouts, waterfalls and trails to explore. Plenty of wildlife throughout the hikes, and a plenty of shaded routes in the rainforest areas. Several car parks depending on the focus area, and several shorter walk and toilet facilities near the main falls.

Easy drive to get to the location. Parking lots are available at the park. Beautiful view but sadly the waterfall was only a trickle of water. Think it would be amazing if there have been more water. Didnβt had time to do the walk.

Really nice location, unfortunately I had neither the time nor the physicality to take the short walks but from looking at it, it appears to be a "gentle" walk with well marked trails. Great view but would definitely be better after or during a decent amount of rain fall. The waterfall while slow (due to the lack of recent rain) was still nice to see and I'd recommend it to anyone passing through as it's only about 1 minute off the main road. There is a single disabled parking spot however it's at a very steep angle so due care and attention will be required.
