Greenes Falls

Getting there

At the lower end of the bottom carpark of the Maiala picnic ground. The Maiala Picnic Ground is on Mt Glorious Rd near the intersection with Browns Rd and is well signposted. The Picnic Ground has modern and clean toilets at the top of the picnic area (but are not well stocked !!).

Route/Trail notes

With a boardwalk this track is very easy.

A lovely walk covered by lots of lush tree's, so plenty of shade. I completed this walk in about an hour and I wasn't rushing. It had been raining a few days before I completed the walk, so there was quite a substantial amount of mud. Expect to get dirty. Plus the path was quite slippery in parts.

Found this to be an easy and interesting walk. The falls weren’t much to look at but a pretty trail along the way, lots of bird song and rainforest sounds, some impressively large trees by the path. We did it with a 2.5 year old and she had no problems.

Very easy walk, well shaded, full of beautiful trees and bird songs. Perfect rainforest feel, would be a lovely day out with any young family

Have done this walk a few times, it's an enjoyable descent into the rainforest before reaching the lookout to the falls. Be warned, I last completed in January after significant rain and there are leeches EVERYWHERE.

This is a great walk, lots of boardwalks, beautiful location. Would be awesome just after rain to see the water flowing. We added the Rainforest Circuit, Cypress Grove Track and the Westside Track to complete just over 10km.

Loved this walk - some magnificent trees, avid birdlife (but you may not see them) and a true nature sound. We added the Rainforest Circuit, Cypress Grove Track and the Westside Track to complete just over 10km. It would be better if people didn’t speak loudly - the sound of the forest is beautiful.

Took the kids along with a friend’s family and it was an enjoyable stroll through the forest.

Great walk with lots of wallabies. Busy track so go early to avoid crowds

Easy, interesting walk with young children. Falls were underwhelming for the young ones as they weren't allowed to scramble down to get a better look. Completed the rainforest circuit on the return. Walking time was just under 2hrs with 1 adult, a 6yr old & a 3yr old (needed a piggyback for the last 1.5km.

Done this walk multiple times. Can get very muddy and lots of leeches in wet weather. Beautiful rainforest the whole way to the top of the falls. I do recommend doing the scramble down to the bottom of the falls, especially after long heavy rain (its when the falls are the best). Great spot if you are into mycology with bioluminescent fungi glowing at night (you will need a torch to navigate through the dense rainforest)

Super easy walk. Was quite dry despite the rain, no mud or bogginess so no need for hiking shoes. I just went with my runners. The falls were also pretty dry but still pretty great. Try and scramble down if you can! Lots of pademelons and cool fungi :)

Easy walk with the toddler. Spotted a Wallabie

Lovely dense forest trail to the falls, a wonderful rain hike if you can deal with endless leeches when it's wet.

Hot Summers day in Brisbane, but it was nice and cool up in the rainforest! Cute resident chickens wandering the picnic area too.

all in all pretty easy walk. only took about 40 minutes each way but we deviated on the way back and did the rainforest circuit. saw lots of pademelons and heard an owl. not much water as no rain but was a nice walk. 2 adults and a 13 year old

Fantastic walk. Well worth it. Did it with my 5yo son in 2.5hrs.

Brilliant walk, was really wet when we did it and had leaches galore all over our legs and shoes.
Was an easy walk got the heart going on the incline on the way back, at least we got to see the falls flowing.
