Went on this hike recently with my dad and really enjoyed it. The trail itself isn’t overly difficult, but there’s a lot of uneven ground, rocks and tree roots, which can get very slippery after rain, so take your time. The scenery is beautiful and the waterfall at the end is well worth it. There’s a suspension-style bridge to cross near the base of the falls - you walk along a single wire with two cables above for balance. Be aware though: when heading towards the falls, the cable on the right-hand side sits further out, so you need to reach across at about a 45° angle, which can be tough if you’re shorter. I struggled to keep hold of it and it really worked my arms, so just something to keep in mind. Best to only have one or two people on at a time as it does swing a little.
The car park is free but very small (around 30 cars). If you miss a space, you can park further away but it will mean a bit of a walk back to the trailhead. The road in is quite narrow and winding. There are no toilets at the start, so plan ahead. The midges were absolutely relentless - insect repellent (or even a net) makes a huge difference.
Overall, it was a great hike with stunning views. Just be prepared with good shoes, water, snacks, and extra care if it’s been raining. Would happily do it again!
