This park is located on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range. Masons Falls Picnic Area, at the end of Masons Falls Road, has barbecues, shelters, tables, and toilets. From the picnic area, you can take the 700-m walk to the waterfall lookout platform. The 500-m Lyrebird Circuit Walk, which also leaves from the picnic area, passes some of the oldest trees in the park and is designed for people with limited mobility. From the waterfall lookout, there's the 7.8-km Running Creek walk, which is more challenging and goes through gullies and new native bush.
