Ryde Falls drops in five tiers inside Oxford Forest Conservation Area. The standard walk from Coopers Creek car park is a 3-hour, 7 km one-way track through beech forest. A shorter, rougher approach starts at View Hill car park and takes 1 to 2 hours.

Good to know

  • You must cross the creek to reach the viewpoint, skip it after heavy rain
  • Perhams Road to View Hill has two fords, 4WD advised
  • Wasps are bad from January to April
