Getting started
From Govetts Leap Lookout, this walk heads down the stairs at the edge of the lookout, keeping the valley to the right. The walk then crosses a grassed area to a well-signposted intersection on the edge of the tree line.
From the intersection, this walk winds down the hill, tending right at first. The walk then zigzags down to a sign-marked intersection.
From the intersection, this walk heads down the stairs towards Govetts Leap Falls. The track soon passes two lookouts as it winds steeply down the cliff line, passing through the rock on a metal staircase. The walk zigzags its way steeply down the walls of rock covered in moss, ferns and grasses as it follows the railed paths and steps down to the base of Govetts Leap Falls.....

Toilet: There is one 45 m from the start.

Govetts Leap Lookout

Govetts Leap Lookout offers wonderful views over the Grose Valley and the spectacular Bridal Falls. The word `leap` is an old Scottish word meaning waterfall. The lookout is easily accessed from the car park, there are also toilets and picnic shelters nearby.
