Really beautiful lovely walking experience. Be sure to wear proper footwear as some of the areas can be quite slippery and a little difficult to navigate if you aren't steady on your feet. Lovely outlook once you manage the trial. The way back up to the carpark is quite exhausting as it's uphill on stairs alot of the journey. Definitely gets the sweat on. But, it was beautiful and well worth it, some of the trees are absolutely massive and definitely quite magnificent to see. My ten year old daughter tackled it with no worries. It's worth noting no smoking, no pets. Would definitely go again. Great free activity that the family can enjoy.
Amazing walk! 1hr 10min circuit including stopping at the lookout & lagoon. Bird life was abundant creating an orchestra of different sounds. Would recommended going anti-clockwise.

Witches Falls is Queensland's first National Park. It's a 3.1 km walk around the circuit. We walked from the carpark near the cemetery. It's is a lovely walk, but bring your walking shoes. There are quite a few steep steps if you enter to the right hand side of the carpark. Take your water bottle & snacks in case you end up exploring the other side which will take you up to Beacon Road. We did once and it's quite a walk back, but if you enjoy a longer walk it's worth doing. Witches Falls are only visible from the top of the falls and there is a viewing platform there.
Beautiful place. Moderately difficult hike. No paved paths or hand rails.
Worth the visit if you are fit and able.
When walking the loop/circuit, you have 2 options: you can start right - natural rock stairs zig-zagging down, ending the hike in a zig-zag slope back up, OR you can start left- zig-zagging slope down, ending in natural rock stairs up, your choice. We started right!

It wasn't busy at all, very tranquil! Waterfall was nice and full-flowing!

It was very muddy around the lagoon /lowest area after the rain, so our shoes were nice and muddy! The lagoon was not too full, but had a lot of debris around, so couldn't see too much of it.

Depending on how often you stop and go, how fast you walk, and how long you spend at the viewpoint, that will depend how long this circuit takes.

Had a lovely time in nature!
This is no longer a “easy stroll” of a hike like
some other reviews have said if it’s been recently raining. The track becomes very very muddy and slippery and there are basically no hand rails.

It took us 1.5 hrs return. The view at the lookout is quite nice and the waterfall was alright. Recommend having proper equipment as I didn’t have hiking pants and got myself a couple of leeches attached to me as a parting gift. Also I ruined my shoes.
Highly recommend going after some rain to truly see the falls. Taking the circuit in an anti-clockwise direction will give you a gentler incline on your return.
Start from the path behind the picnic area and head behind the cemetery.
Well shaded, but do use some bug repellent, especially if you head to the seasonal lagoon.
Parking is on the main road so watch the kids it can be quite busy.
About an hour return and it's such an easy walk! The falls itself is quite seasonal though we didn't really get to see any water. The birds were singing so nicely though! There's a toilet near the carpark. Some tables for picnics too. The lookout was quite acceptable.

Starts off from car park and splits off from Curtis Falls trail to go downstream, visiting both banks of creek. We took an additional 30min and it was easy in winter, but I can imagine crossing the river at the end of the loop during the wet season could be challenging.
Short walks through dense forest. Very pleasant.

Part of the Joalah Section, the Lower Creek Circuit is an excellent walking track that takes around an hour to complete.

This track showcases the beauty of the forests, waterfalls and rivers of the Tamborine National Park.

The trail is quite easy to complete as the uphill and downhill sections are mostly paved. However, there is a section of the circuit where you have to cross through the river by either getting wet or by hopping between logs and stones.

Furthermore, I recommend not doing this trail after or when it is raining as the amount of mud is insane, as shown in the pictures.

In conclusion, this is a pretty easy trail which has very beautiful scenic views.
