Within Blue Mountains National Park, five minutes from the highway, is one of the most majestic waterfalls on the plateau. The falls occur where the Jamison Creek drops over the escarpment and plunges 297 metres over the upper and lower falls into a large pool before flowing down the creek into the Valley of the Waters. Bushwalks in the area vary from short 10 minutes to full day walks in the valley. National Parks and Wildlife Services produce a booklet with maps and information on the walks. Barbecue and picnic facilities are available and it is about two kilometres from Wentworth Falls train station.
