Ethel Falls (also known as Ethel Creek Falls) is a secluded waterfall tucked within Paluma Range National Park, roughly an hour north of Townsville in Queensland.

Because it appears on no official park signage or National Parks websites, it remains one of the region's true hidden gems, and visitors are likely to have the falls entirely to themselves.

The most common access point is the end of Hussey Road, making for an approximately 3 km return walk. A longer 8–10 km return route is possible from Paluma Village via the Cloudy Creek Falls track.

The trail leads hikers to the top of Ethel Creek, where crossing the creek and following the track to the right brings you to a steep descent — aided by a rope handrail — down to a waterhole at the base of the falls.
