Mount May and Waterfall Creek Circuit

6.7 km circuit

4 h to 6 h

Mount May and Waterfall Creek Circuit

Starting from Waterfall Creek Road, Maroon, this circuit walk takes you to both of the summits of Mount May, crossing the Waterfall Creek multiple times along the way. Expect a physical and navigational challenge that will reward you with stunning views over the surrounding area. Mount Barney looks exceptional along with the picturesque peaks of Moogerah. You’ll be hiking and scrambling along the scenic ridge, and parts of the track may require bush-bashing due to the overgrowth. A decent level of fitness and bushwalking/scrambling experience is recommended. Keep an eye out for snakes, especially in the warmer months. Avoid this track under wet conditions as it can become extremely slippery and dangerous. Bring a GPS device to be safe.
