Lower Portals
This was my first overnight hike. It was challenging, but not ridiculous. A good beginners walk.
I highly recommend going for a dip in the creek even in Winter. It was like an ice bath for my tired muscles.

Mt Chowan
Reaching the top of Mt Chowan is a challenge, but a worthy challenge. Mt Chowan sits in the north-eastern corner of Mt Jerusalem National Park at a height of 523m. A fire trail and a track lead up along the side of the mountain until the final steep ascent.

Coomera Circuit
This track showsoff some of Binna Burra's best assets and is one of the prettiest walks in this section of the park. The waterfalls are at their best after rain. The track does cross over the Coomera River several times and crossings can become tricky if water levels are high.

Warrie Circuit
Beautiful walk through the valley. Pass and go through lots of waterfalls and rainforest.
Stop at Apple Tree Park for toilet stop on way. Circuit is another 5-10min drive from there.
Public toilets are also located at Tallanbana Picnic Area approximately 300m on the right before Canyon Lookout where Warrie Circuit begins - toilets are set back off the road and can't be seen from the road, but, they're there just behind the picnic tables.
Cuts across the Ngarri-dhum Falls a few times in one half, and the Little Nerang Creek in the other half. The half way point is the Meeting of the Waters where (as the name suggests) the two creeks meet.

Huka Falls Lookouts
A short walk to views of the powerful thundering water flow through a natural 15m wide gorge before spilling over Huka Falls, which could fill 5 Olympic swimming pools a minute with its flow. The falls vary from 7m to 9.5m and are situated on the Waikato River which is the longest river in New Zealand and the only river to drain Lake Taupo.

Upper Silica Rapids Track
Experience a range of vegetation types as well as the creamy-white Silica Rapid terraces.
The boardwalks makes walking over swampy ground more comfortable and reduces the impact of foot traffic on delicate vegetation. This is a great place to enjoy mountain views particularly Mt. Ruapehu.

Lookout Archerfield Wetland
The wetland offers a nice long walking path, perfect for a peaceful stroll or bicycle ride. However, there's little to no shade, making it a bit challenging during sunny summers. The area has a lot of potential but could use some improvements to make it more engaging. Despite being somewhat secluded, it's still a pleasant spot for outdoor activities, but it could benefit from a bit of enhancement to make the experience more enjoyable.

Kinbombi Falls
Located next to a camping area with picnic and toilet facilities, the Kinbombi Falls walks are a network of 3 short tracks that descend into a deep gully containing a seasonally flowing creek/waterfall. The combined walks could be done in under an hour, but it is worth setting aside more time to enjoy and explore the gully.
Tracks 1 and 3 both have an unstable, unpaved section towards the bottom of the gully.

Whakapapanui Track
Follow Whakapapanui Stream and enjoy the shelter of the forest.
Water-logged clearings are passed as the track follows Whakapapanui Stream. Here, storm damaged beech forest is slowly regenerating. Keep a look out along the river for the endangered whio/blue duck. They are the same colour as the rocks so can be very difficult to spot, but you may hear the male’s whistling call.
