Spring Creek Falls
Spring Creek Falls
Spring Creek Falls is a rewarding natural attraction tucked into the Mowbray Valley, a short drive south of Port Douglas in Tropical North Queensland.
The falls culminate in an impressive cascade — sometimes referred to as Black Rock Falls — dropping into a large, deep swimming hole at its base, with a series of smaller waterfalls and rock pools lining the creek along the way.
There is no formal, signposted trail; hikers simply follow Spring Creek upstream, hopping over rocks and crossing the stream multiple times. The return journey is roughly 2–2. 5 km and takes approximately two hours.
The terrain is uneven and can be slippery, so caution is advised. The site is considered croc-free, and timing a visit just after the wet season typically rewards hikers with the most impressive flow.
The falls remain a relatively hidden gem, popular mainly with locals, and rarely crowded.
