Waterfall
Cronen Creek Falls in Mount Barney National Park is a beautiful and fun adventure. The hike to the falls is a 12.9 kilometers return, which takes you through some of the park’s most beautiful and diverse landscapes. The trail starts off with a gentle ascent through lush rainforest, where you'll likely encounter some cows so keep an eye out. As you get closer to the falls, the path becomes more adventurous with a few rocky stretches that keep things interesting.
When you finally reach Cronen Creek Falls, it feels like you’ve discovered a secret paradise. The waterfall cascades down a rugged cliff into a serene pool, perfect for a refreshing dip after the hike, warning though the water here is freezing. The natural beauty is jaw-dropping, with the clear water contrasting beautifully against the vibrant greenery.
The hike isn’t overly strenuous but definitely requires some sturdy shoes and a bit of stamina, especially on the rockier sections. Make sure to pack plenty of water and maybe a light snack to enjoy at the falls. If you're an early bird or a late adventurer, the light at different times of the day makes the falls look even more spectacular. This spot is perfect for anyone looking to escape into nature and relish a bit of tranquility.
