Mahon Falls is an 80-metre waterfall in County Waterford where the River Mahon plunges over sandstone cliffs on the southern slopes of the Comeragh Mountains.

The falls are more of an elegant cascade than a powerful torrent under normal conditions, though heavy rainfall intensifies their force considerably. Views from the approach stretch back toward the sea and the town of Dungarvan.

A car park sits close to the falls, and the primary trail — mostly gravel with grass and heather giving way to rockier ground near the base — is accessible to a wide range of walkers.

Those seeking more challenge can scramble up beside the falls and follow a loop along the ridgeline. Longer loop options extend the outing significantly.

Just beside the car park, visitors can also experience the so-called Magic Road, an optical illusion where cars appear to roll uphill.
