Mossman Gorge Boardwalk
1 hour 30 mins
Explore Mossman Gorge on a scenic rainforest walk with crystal-clear swimming spots and cultural insights.
Discover ancient rainforest landscapes and cultural heritage on the Mossman Gorge Boardwalk. This scenic 2.4 kilometre loop walk winds through lush tropical forest, revealing crystal-clear waters and granite boulders shaped over millions of years.
Follow well-maintained tracks and accessible boardwalk sections as you explore towering trees, tangled vines and vibrant foliage. Cross suspension bridges and venture along the Rainforest Circuit Track, with opportunities to spot butterflies, musky rat-kangaroos and birdlife. Pause beside the Mossman River, where clear water flows over smooth boulders, offering a peaceful setting for reflection or a refreshing swim.
Ideal for families, walkers and culture enthusiasts, the boardwalk suits a range of fitness levels and includes wheelchair access on sections of the trail. Visitors can also deepen their experience by joining a guided Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk led by the Kuku Yalanji people.
This is a rewarding way to connect with rainforest, river and living cultural heritage in one memorable visit.
