Minyon Falls

Highlights

Minyon Falls is a breathtaking place to explore in Nightcap National Park. From the lookout, you can see water cascading 100 metres into a deep gorge surrounded by lush rainforest. On clear days, you might even spot the coast in the distance. It’s a perfect spot for anyone who loves waterfalls and nature adventures!

The base of the falls has a natural pool where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. For those who love exploring, there are walking trails like the Minyon Falls walking track and Boggy Creek walk. These trails take you through dense rainforest, past fern-lined creeks, and even to the old-growth brushbox trees on Repentance Creek.

The picnic areas at Minyon Falls and Minyon Grass are ideal for a lunch break. With barbecues, shady spots, and stunning views, it’s a fantastic way to unwind and soak up the beauty of the area.

Adult Supervision Recommended: The walking tracks and lookout areas can be steep or slippery. Stay close to your adults for a safe and fun visit!

What You Need To know

Guidelines

Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for the most up to date information.
Ensure you observe all safety signs. Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
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.
Wear suitable footwear and always ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements when exploring Australia.
Plan ahead and ensure to take enough food and water for your journey.
Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
