Langdale Falls Hike Description
Although the Langdale Falls Loop is located just on the edge of town, sections of it have become poorly-maintained over time and will require a bit of light bushwhacking and route finding in order to stay on the correct path. Whether you view this as an opportunity for an off-the-path adventure or as more of a nuisance, this hiking route is sure to provide you with some amazing rainforest scenery along the Sunshine Coast. The trailhead sets out from the end of Wharf Road and immediately enters into the tree cover. When you reach the fork in the trail, follow the path to the right to complete the overgrown part of the loop first so that you can better enjoy the falls. Once there, enjoy the amazing views looking out onto the cascading water before continuing along the loop to the south towards the Sprockids Trail Recreation Site. After passing through this stretch of forest, you will arrive back at the initial junction in the trail, where you can head right to return to the trailhead.
