A series of waterfalls and pools in upper Freshwater Creek is the perfect place to cool down on a hot summer's day and enjoy the picnic areas. Crystal Cascades is a short, scenic walk which follows a concrete path along the rainforest creek past a multitude of rapids, rockpools and waterfalls. Take care when swimming here or jumping from rocks. Dowah Creek is located at the southern end of the Crystal Cascades carpark. The trail begins as a rough track over boulders and vegetation. Located on the eastern side of Dowah Creek the trail is a short 15 minutes, ending peacefully at a small pool and waterfall...that would be under normal circumstances but after all the rain Crystal Cascades is a raging torrent. Absolutely breathtaking but I wouldn't have risked swimming in them when we were there.
