A steady climb from the car park at the end of Mullans Road climbs through mountain beech forest to the attractive 41 metre-high Dog Stream waterfall. Mosses, ferns, lichens and native orchids are interesting features on the track.
A suggested round trip is to return via Spur Track and Fir Trail to the waterfall carpark.
