Alligator Creek Falls
Alligator Creek Falls
Alligator Creek Falls is a waterfall located within the Mount Elliot section of Bowling Green Bay National Park, roughly 20 minutes south of Townsville, Queensland.
Alligator Creek flows through the landscape in a series of cascades, deep pools, and waterfalls, with pockets of eucalypt woodland and rainforest along the way.
Reaching the falls requires an approximately 17 km return hike, rated Grade 3 (moderate), with an estimated six hours of walking. The track involves creek crossings, open sun-exposed sections, and a steeper climb in the final stretch before the falls.
Swimming holes are found at multiple points along the route, including at the day-use area, the base of the falls, and the top. Hikers are advised to avoid the track during the hottest weather and when creek levels are high.
