Minyon Falls Lookout

Beautiful way driving through the rain forest. 2 min walking only from the car park. Nicest waterfall that I have seen in Australia for the moment! Full of wildlife.

Another trip to Minton falls lookout and always a pleasure.
Parking is still in good condition, bathroom close by and the walk is nice an least up to the look out.

Easy to access with great amenities. The walk to the bottom is closed at the moment due to landslip but you can do a beautiful walk starting just 5 min drive from here. Stop here the view and then head over to do the walk.

I was taken by surprise here. The lookout is unbelievably dramatic, beautiful, and - if like me you’re scared of heights - petrifying. Great parking and toilet facilities. The adjacent Boggy Creek walking track is an absolute delight.

Great spot
The walk to go there is not the best ever but still in the forest
Few people but you definitely need a drone if you want to have a great view of the falls

This waterfall is a yearly tradition for me; taking in the positive ions, swimming at the base of the waterfall and letting the water splash down and cleanse you. I have a spiritual connection with this place, so when I saw this morning that it had reopened, I was over the moon. She still looks amazing as she ever was. Better luck next time, floods.

To access the waterfall you have to go to Minyon Grass Picnic Area as that is the only available trail down to the base of the waterfall.

Take some old shoes or some hiking boots because it is muddy on the trek towards the waterfall. Come here and enjoy what nature provides and open up your spiritual side. She listens.

Beautiful location but road in is a bit rough. We only done the walk to the platform and upstream a little

The road up from the cutest is a great party of the experience, just beautiful. The waterfalls and the view from the lookout is fantastic, so green. There's toilets and picnic area under the tall trees

Heaps of potholes, narrow road, plenty of parking spaces, amazing lookout, looked after amenities, perfect for a swim, heaps of walking tracks
there aren't any bins

So beautiful! I can’t wait to return when the walk is open
Definitely worth the drive there from Byron, the drive through the hinterlands was amazing

Found this picture taken in 2002. Our son looking rather Zen. Our daughter remembers this hike. We had to remove a walking leech that was attached to her lower leg.

MAIN WALKS ARE CLOSED So don't waste your time driving 2.5 hrs if you're after the longer hikes- but you can still visit the lookout which is a few meters from the carpark

It's an even better place to take the family now. Major renovations on the picnic infrastructure make us a very comfortable experience for a picnic.

Must visit place for nature enthusiasts. The falls are viewable from a platform and just meters from car park. The route is fine except for few places which may be worse if rains. If one has time, they can do walk down to the falls which is around 2 hrs return.

Beautiful area, and great lookout. Currently the walking track is CLOSED until June 2023 and there is NO signage to advise of this until you have driven all the way, gotten prepared and then walked to the path where there is a fence closing the walking track off.

We saw a lot of hikers walk to there only to turn around.

The road in is a bit twisty, and a bit of water damage too, so our Hire car MG3 struggled a bit.

Otherwise it is a beautiful area, the nicest, cleanest, fanciest parking picnic area I have seen at a national park before, the viewing platform was really good, and a nice view too. Definitely recommend whether you are doing the walk or not.

It is a beautiful waterfall and impressive if you are in the area, but if not it is not really worth going. The roads are really bad and Springbrook waterfalls is nicer

Beautiful waterfalls and an amazing view of the forest, the lookout was boarded off when i went but everyone just goes in anyway after the long walk.worth it!

Strongly don’t recommend doing any of the tracks until the rangers fix them. Some friends and I did them regardless of the signs and we came across landslide after landslide. We had a few ‘lost’ moments that weren’t fun with the setting sun and no reception.
The lookout on the top is worth the clear walk, but don’t bother doing either of the trails to the bottom of the falls.
Seems like it will take a really long time until this opens up again.
I have done this walk in the past and it was great. So I recommend only going once the park opens again

Loved this place. Great views through the valley. Peaceful and well set out. Good parking area. Relax with a picnic. Well worth a day hiking, swimming and sites.

Great walk, beautiful tropical forests down in the valley, we went just after some big rains so the waterfall was pumping, there was a lot of leeches so if you're not a fan maybe go on a dry day.
