Do you want to go on a beautiful and enjoyable trek in Springbrook National Park? The climb to Purling Brook Falls is the only option! This easy route provides breathtaking waterfalls and wonderful valley vistas that will wow you.

Although either way is possible to climb the path, most people choose to proceed in a circular orientation. With many views out to the Gold Coast hinterland, the first part of the walk descends down the valley to the foot of the waterfall. If you bring your swimmers, the swimming hole is a cool treat. The falls' base and its rock pools provide a nice lunch or snack area (please take your trash out with you).

The 4-kilometer path takes around 87 minutes to complete. Even though it is classed as moderate, the whole family may still go as long as everyone can manage the distance and some difficult terrain.

As there are many picture possibilities along the road, remember to bring your camera. Also, remember to wear suitable footwear and sun protection. Pack your luggage, gather your loved ones, and go to Springbrook National Park to hike the Purling Brook Falls path for an unforgettable hiking adventure.
