Mena Creek Falls

Dear fellow adventurers,If you're looking for a breathtaking natural wonder, the Mena Creek Falls is an absolute must-visit! The falls are absolutely massive and offer incredible views of Paronella Park and its lush surroundings. We highly recommend spending $50 to enter the park itself for the ultimate viewing experience. You won't regret it!For those who aren't interested in going inside the park, there's an entry to the suspension bridge that offers fantastic views of the falls from a safe distance. The surrounding picnic areas and Paronella Park café are the perfect spot for enjoying a relaxing meal, complete with tasty snacks and ice cream on hot summer days.If you're fortunate enough to have more time, there's plenty of space for camping inside the park, and the falls and park are perfect for a leisurely day trip. The falls are so gorgeous and breathtaking, and the park itself offers an incredible glimpse into the area's fascinating history.To get to the falls, simply drive past the entrance and find the parking area. The bridge will take you directly over the falls, offering stunning views of the peaceful river upstream, the castle, and the pool downstream.We also highly recommend taking the walk through the rainforest and fig trees to the lookout stationed just above the water down below to get the lower view of the falls.The best part? The experience is entirely free, making it an accessible and awe-inspiring location. Don't hesitate - make sure to walk down the track to the bottom of the hill to the river's edge for breathtaking sights and memories that will last a lifetime!Best regards,Enthusiastic visitorsalex

Nice views of Paronella Park and the waterfalls. You can walk across the dispensing bridge, too for a closer view. The little walk down to the bottom of the Falls is worth doing, too.

You drive just past Paronella Park and there’s a huge area to park. A swinging bridge takes you directly above the falls and allows you to look up stream at the peaceful river, over to the castle, and downstream to the pool and continuing river path.We took the walk down through the rainforest and fig trees to the lookout stationed just above the water down below to get the lower view of the falls.We wanted to do Paronella Park but it was nearly nap time for our little one so this was a second best to at least see a little bit, if only from outside and check out the falls.

Absolutely gorgeous place ! Defenitely worth to visit, every half hour is an exploration day tour organized, the guides are real passionate about this special place. Even better if you plan to stay for the night show, from the misty tour to the light and music show. It really does add up something to the great experience ! Warning : most of the staff are absolute gems, not all of them tho, which is a real pain for the establishment. Still many thanks for the fantastic job the whole team is doing.

The fall itself might not be the most amazing (still pretty), but the whole area is great. This is where you can have a view of the Paronella Castle without having to pay the $50 entrance fee. Big car park right next to the swing bridge going over the top of the falls. You can view the castle from the bridge and have a closer look at the other side of the bridge. There's a toilet facility. A walk down to view the fall from another angle, a very short, slightly steep, very doable walk.

Beautiful place to visit and have a picnic or view Paronella Castle. There is a car park and two picnic tables.Also a walk to the bottom of the falls opposite the castle.From the suspension bridge to Paronella, you can see heaps of turtles and fish in the water.

What a place to visit! This waterfall is massive and has one of the most beautiful views over Paranella park and it’s surrounds. One of the best views is from inside the park and I would recommend spending the $50 to go into the park not just for the spectacular view of Mena Creek falls but for all the park offers.However if you don’t want to go inside there is an entry to the suspension bridge where you can enjoy jumping around over the falls, looking over and then returning to the safety of land. There’s picnic sites surrounding the space and if you want to pop into the Paranella park cafe for something they have a great selection of snacks and ice creams on those hot summer days.Plenty of space to camp inside the park itself if you want to stay a little longer but otherwise the perfect stop for a day trip. It’s so gorgeous and a must see along with the park attached where you can learn more of the history.

We didn't go to that castle so we had a small picnic directly at the falls. You can go over the falls on a great pedestrian bridge and can walk down to the lake for a spectacular view. All for free.
