Adelina Falls
Lawson
Waterfall
Walk
Kid-Friendly
A beautiful waterfall on the South Lawson circuit, flowing through lush rainforest into a shallow pool. Part of an easy 4km loop trail that passes multiple cascades including Cataract Falls and Adelina Falls — serene, shaded, and perfect for all ages. The trail is well-marked and mostly flat, making it one of the most accessible waterfall walks in the Blue Mountains. Arrive early on weekends to secure parking at the South Lawson Waterfall Circuit trailhead on Honour Avenue.
Getting There
Drive to Honour Avenue, Lawson via the Great Western Highway. Free parking at the South Lawson Waterfall Circuit trailhead. Lawson train station is about 2km away if coming by public transport.
Best Time to Visit
Year-round, but best after rain when flows are full. Weekday mornings avoid weekend crowds. Autumn and spring offer lush greenery without summer heat.
Tips
- Walk the full 4km South Lawson Circuit to see Cataract Falls and Dantes Glen on the same loop
- Wear closed-toe shoes — creek crossings can be slippery
- Arrive before 9am on weekends to secure a parking spot on Honour Avenue
Entry & Facilities
