The Elabana Falls and Picnic Rock Trail is a must-do if you're searching for a modest trek that provides breathtaking views of Lamington National Park. O'reilly's Rainforest Retreat serves as the trailhead for this well-traveled route, which is often used to reach the Box Forest Circuit.

You will ultimately begin to drop in the direction of Elabana Falls as you continue on the Border Track through dense ferns and through a few streams. The hike's high point is this magnificent waterfall, which is recognised for its horsetail shape and is a wonderful place to stop and take in the surrounding scenery.

Continue along the Border Track from Elabana Falls to Picnic Rock, which is a wonderful location to stop and take in the beauty. The route then loops back to the starting point via the Border Track.

The Elabana Falls and Picnic Rock Trail can be completed in 125 minutes and is 7.1 kilometres long, making it appropriate for those with some hiking expertise. For the trek, remember to pack lots of water and food and to wear proper footwear. You'll want to capture the breathtaking scenery along the journey, so don't forget your camera!
