Find your kind of park

Is this your kind of park?

Choose Clifty Falls for falling water and layered rock. An overlook visit and a creek-bed hike make very different days, so pick the terrain before joining routes together.

Take the trip checklist →
  1. Choose an overlook and one possible walk from the official property map. Check steps, grades and creek-bed sections.

  2. If using the accessible overlook, confirm the full journey from parking and any work affecting that feature.

  3. Check the current Brough’s Tunnel closure notice and stream conditions. Pick an open route; do not enter a closed tunnel.

Before you go

Check before you leave

The official page reviewed lists Brough’s Tunnel as closed indefinitely after a rockslide. Do not plan to enter either tunnel entrance; check the current alert before visiting.
