Emerald Falls
Emerald Falls
Emerald Creek Falls is a tiered cascade on Emerald Creek within the Dinden West Forest Reserve, located about 15 km south of Mareeba and roughly 1. 5 hours from Cairns in Far North Queensland.
The falls drop approximately 30 metres over smooth granite boulders, with an upper section best viewed from a lookout and a lower section surrounded by deep, emerald-coloured swimming holes. A return walking track of around 2.
4 km (rated easy, 1–2 hours) leads from the car park at the end of Emerald Falls Road to the falls, with side paths branching off to various rock pools.
The waterfall is considered one of the finest swimming spots in the Cairns region and pairs well with a visit to nearby Davies Creek Falls.
