3km return hike. Beautiful, small falls some neat views along the way. River, trees growing atop rocks, birds, etc. Would recommend hiking shoes or sneakers at the very least as the path can be muddy as well as roots protruding from the ground. The base of the falls consist of large, wet rocks.

The boardwalk was a lovely walk along the water. We stopped and sat next to the statues of Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel. A great view of Kidston Island.
