From the carpark by Ophir Road, follow Central Mines trail to The Falls at Summer Hill Creek for breathtaking views of the waterfalls. The falls are lovely all year around, but are particularly striking when water levels in the creek are high following heavy rainfall. At the bottom of these glorious waterfalls, you’ll find a tranquil swimming hole that makes the most perfect place to cool off on a hot summer’s day.
Summer Hill Creek is also a good spot for off bank fishing.
Pack a picnic and drive to nearby Fourth Crossing picnic area, then take a walk along Historic Water Race walking track.
