Mapleton Falls National Park near Mapleton is where Pencil Creek plunges 120 m into the Obi Obi valley. The lookout next to the car park is a 50 m return walk on bitumen and cement paths, accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. The Wompoo circuit is an easy 1.3 km return walk (about 45 minutes) through rainforest and eucalypt forest with signs along the way and another lookout. Kids can listen for frogs near the causeway pool in warmer months and spot peregrine falcons near the cliffs, especially in August and September. Toilets, including an accessible toilet, are beside the car park, and a grassy picnic area with tables is a short walk away. Dogs are not allowed. Free entry.
