Davies Creek Walks
Falls Circuit Walk
Rating: Easy
Time: 20mins

Davies Creek Falls are the focal point of Davies Creek National Park. The falls are 2km beyond the camping area at Davies Creek, on Davies Creek Road. A circuit path accesses two lookouts next to the falls, and then winds along the creekbank to a picnic area further upstream, before returning to the carpark. The lookouts offer a panorama of the northern Tableland and views of the gorge and the 75 metre waterfall.
Kahlpahlim Rock
Rating: Strenuous
Time: 6 Hours
Type: Mixed Forest Trail
Length: 10km Return Walk
Access By Road: 36km
Kahlpahlim Rock is the highest point of the Lamb Range, a huge granite massif that looms large above the surrounding mountains. Two trailheads, 4km apart, offer walkers totally different ecological experiences. The two trails converge on a ridge 1km from Kahlpahlim Rock. At Kahlpahlim Rock you can enjoy spectacular views over the Atherton Tableland and Cairns. The walk can also be undertaken as a circuit by returning on the alternative trail. The strenuous return walk takes about 6 hours, depending on your level of fitness and the route you choose.
