Water Fall

Running Creek Falls is a waterfall located on Running Creek within Lamington National Park in Queensland's Scenic Rim region. Regarded as one of the tallest waterfalls in southeast Queensland, it has a reputation as a breathtaking and remote destination.

Reaching the falls is a serious undertaking. The off-track hike is approximately 20 km return and typically takes 8–12 hours, making it suitable only for experienced bushwalkers with strong navigation skills.

The route involves following pink tape and markers, rock hopping, multiple creek crossings, and travel through farmland and rainforest. Hazards include stinging plants such as wait-a-while and Gympie Gympie.

Carrying a personal locator beacon is strongly advised.
