Playford Lake

Highlight • Lake

Playford Lake is a charming body of water surrounded by picnic areas, open lawns, and the accessible Wood Duck Walk. The lake attracts ducks, turtles, and other waterbirds, making it one of the park’s best places for wildlife watching and a popular destination for families. Swimming and fishing are not permitted, but it’s a lovely place to take a peaceful stroll around its perimeter.

Waterfall Hike Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This well-marked walking track is part of the 6.5-kilometre Waterfall Hike circuit, looping through native bushland and past the park’s seasonal cascades. The route includes a short trek through Echo Tunnel under the railway line, and winds along rocky escarpments to lookouts overlooking both the Upper and Lower waterfalls, which flow strongest after heavy rainfall. The track features some steep and uneven sections, shared fire-trail connections popular with cyclists, and scenic forest and wildlife views, making it a fulfilling but moderately challenging bushwalk.

Upper Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Upper Waterfall is a seasonal cascade that typically flows after significant rainfall, spilling over rocky ledges surrounded by stringybark forest and native undergrowth. There is plenty of shade here, making this a great spot for a scenic break, especially after rain when the water is running.
