Carrawaystick Waterfall sits in the remote Glenmalure Valley of County Wicklow, fed by a stream originating on the nearby mountain Cloghernagh and supplemented by a small tributary from Kelly's Lough.

After passing beside a farmhouse, the stream continues down to join the River Avonbeg. Large rocks, shaped over thousands of years by the flowing water, line the waterfall's path.

The fall is relatively narrow and can appear as little more than a thin thread from the roadside during dry periods, though it gains volume after heavy rain. A footbridge sits beneath the waterfall, and the walk from the road is less than a kilometre.

The waterfall is also a well-known starting point for those ascending Lugnaquilla, the highest peak in Leinster, via the Zig-Zags trail.
