Cougal Cascades
Highlights
Visit the beautiful Cougal Cascades in the Currumbin Valley, Queensland. This 1.6km return trail follows the sparkling Currumbin Creek, where water cascades over rocks, creating natural pools perfect for cooling off. It’s a short and easy walk, great for families and kids.
The sealed path is wheelchair and pram-friendly, making it accessible for everyone. Along the way, listen to the rushing water and spot birds and butterflies. If you’re feeling adventurous, carefully climb down to the creek for a closer look at the water. It’s a fantastic place for a picnic and a fun day out in nature.
Adult Supervision Recommended: Rocks near the water can be slippery. Stay close to your adults to explore safely.
