Getting there:

Off the Bruce Highway at Nerang on the Gold Coast take the Nerang Murwillumbah Road. Signposted after the dam take a left onto Pine Creek Road and left again onto Springbrook Road that leads you up onto and across the plateau to the various lookouts and walks.

This walk starts from either the Tallanbana picnic area or Canyon Lookout.

Springbrook National Park

Route/Trail notes:

The track is easy to follow but steep in places and can be completed in either direction although anti-clockwise is recommended. There are two junctions where the Warrie Circuit meets this circuit, one near Twin Falls and the other at the base of Blackfellow Falls, but both are well signposted.

Permits/Costs:

None.

Other References/Comments:

The area is very busy particularly at weekends and parking can therefore be a problem.

If you can, visit local information centre a couple kms from Canyon Lookout. I believe it was once the original schoolhouse.

A cooling swim and a picnic at Twin Falls is well worth the effort of the walk down.

Great waterfalls...

The best short walk i have done in a long time. Heaps of caves to walk through and explore and atleast 4 different waterfalls . Well worth doing the entire circuit heaps to see and beautiful views of the valley from the top end of the circuit. Definitely recommend doing this can be done with kids.

I love how this track changes, from walking across the top of a waterfall, to walking behind waterfalls, to walking under cliff ledges. Go early as it gets busy on the weekends.

In my experience, the best short walk <5km in Queensland. Beautiful!

Easy walk with some of the most amazing waterfalls I have seen 😍
Just beautiful after the rain 💖
Easy walk that would be great for kids. About 1.5 hours taking photos along the way🙏💕

Lovely walk through a beautiful area.

Completed in conjunction with the Warrie circuit. Do not be deterred by the length of the Warrie circuit. It really isn't that difficult and the walk is amazing.

My husband and I did this walk recently. Absolutely stunning scenery plenty to look at and different rock formations. We saw a pink nosed lizard too. The walk took about 1.5 hrs including the cannon look out.
It's worthwhile for people who are local to this area.

Beautiful walk and relatively easy. Walk behind three water falls and take advantage of multiple view points/lookouts. Enjoy the impressive display of rock formations, a must do if you're in the area. Unfortunately the trail signs are still currently vandalised. Hot spot for skinks as well. We saw a Land Mullet (Australia's largest skink) & A pink tongued skink featured in my video below if you're interested :)

Lovely, peaceful walk. I wouldn't say it is challenging. Recently, a new bridge has been built and access to underneath the waterfall has been restricted. Pictures of all of my walks and climbs are on instagram @teniille

A great walk!

Very nice walk but some spongebob has defaced the signs on the way so it's hard to find where you are or wanting to go a couple of small signs along the way would be great apart from that well worth the drive and day out.

Why would anybody vandalise the maps in the Twin Falls Circuit? I saw this yesterday. I was trying to find an alternative way back to the Tallenbana Picnic ground but had to retrace my steps.
The falls were flowing beautifully, spectacular!

Easy walk. Magestic cliffs and beautiful waterfalls. Very poor signage and those that are there have been vandalised.

Great walk. Lots of little off shoots. Best advice: Just keep asking people you meet where they came from and you'll find your way out. :-D

Easy walk and took several dips under the falls, lots of nice caves and creeks and it was nice to be at different heights in the forest, I started at the Falls and went around but I would recommend finishing at the falls instead. Took less time than I thought.

Lovely Autumn walk - sprinkled with rain occasionally, but hey - it's a rainforest, right? Beautiful afternoon with my daughter and my partner :)

Bruce on 27 Mar, 2016

I love Twin Falls, done this walk many times.

This was one of the best short walks I've been on so far. It's got everything, caves, waterfalls, and great views. A little bit slippery in some places as it had just rained but really enjoyed it.
