Walking North Maleny: the local loops

Gardner's Falls — A popular swimming hole with rock pools and small waterfalls, accessible via a short walk along the creek. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. Benches and shade appear often enough for a slow dog.

Maleny Trail — Follows the Obi Obi Creek, offering scenic views of the water, surrounding bushland, and occasional wildlife. Lead-on throughout unless council signage says otherwise. A coffee stop is never far on the way back.
