Kalimna Falls
Highlights
Kalimna Falls is an enchanting spot perfect for kids and teens who love nature and adventure. The walk to the falls follows an old timber tramway, and you can even spot some of the original wooden sleepers along the way. The trail winds through a peaceful creek valley lined with ferns and towering blue gums, leading to Lower Kalimna Falls. Here, water plunges over a rock ledge into a fern-fringed pool—an ideal picnic spot!
Keep walking to Upper Kalimna Falls, where a 15-metre cascade tumbles down mossy boulders surrounded by dense tree ferns. For a scenic return journey, follow a link track high above the river, offering breathtaking views. It’s an adventure packed with natural beauty and a touch of history!

- Stay safe and get the most out of your park visit by preparing for natural hazards and other outdoor risks. You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of those in your care.
- Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
- Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
- Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
