Mermaids Cave Walk

A beautiful, short walk into a really pretty canyon. The parking is a bit precarious, but worth it.It is a rough walk in with some steep steps, so you do need take it slow and stay aware of your kids. But it is a great short adventure getting down to the bottom.Once you are in the “cave” itself(more of a very narrow chasm) it is indeed like a little mermaid cabe. It is cool, there is the sound of little waterfalls and trickling streams. It is muddy and can be slippery so again be careful if you or the kids are exploring the paths that lead up around the walls and behind the little waterfall.Follow the stream down into a little tree filled grotto. Unfortunately down here you are bounded by the road, but ignoring this is easy and it is still a lovely place to explore at the base of the cliffs.As always be careful of edges and rock falls in these place.

This is a very rewarding view for a small 5 minute walk to the waterfall. We parked up in a parking spot right on the hairpin turn across the road from the start of the walk. There is plenty of room for at least 6- 8 cars to park up comfortably. There is a very nice walk if you continue into the forest below. It can get very cold down the bottom during the winter months.

Went there yesterday loved it a very beautiful hidden place. Loved walking down the stone steps between the to big rocks. The waterfall was great after alot of rain

Slightly underwhelming. Short and nice walk. Signposting needs improvement

Beautiful waterfall. Short walk down steep steps but definitely worth it. As other suggested, park and walk in from hairpin corner. This pin drop. Not much parking available at the other end of trail.

Great short walking trail from the Megalong Valley Road, quiet steep walking down the natural rocks. It is sandstone cave located in the Blackheads, NSW. This place is the scene from Mad Max movie.

A relatively easy walk, no other people around (not crowded out with tourists like other falls) and incredible place. A must if in the Blue Mountains!

Beautiful little hidden glen. Little water flow when I visited, but would be wonderful after rain.

For anyone wanting a longer walk (and to avoid walking on busy Shipley St & Megalong Rd), there is a lovely bush track to Mermaids Cave from Station St, 5 mins south of Staveley St cnr. It's not marked but pretty obvious.
