Parks NSW does not recommend visiting Hell Hole Falls due to the high risk of injury. No official trail leads to the falls, making it difficult for emergency services to assist anyone if they injure themselves while visiting the location.
Visitors looking for a place to cool off can try the beautiful Minyon Falls nearby. Please use caution when visiting waterfalls as rocks and pathways can be dangerously slippery. Always heed signage and warnings about waterfall safety.

A short hike along Rayners Track and Koonyum Range Road. This is an fairly undulating track at times with some scrambling found along the way but nothing too extreme.
The track does widen as you meet Koonyum Range Road passing by the Teales Lookout from there you'll have a fairly easy pace back to the start of this walk.

A great walk along an undulating climb up to the summit near Smiths Creek, New South Wales.
A nice walk on a well-graded trail. There are not too many views, but what you do see it beautiful. The last 500m or so is a badly rutted trail, but not difficult. Finally, it's a bush bash to the broken trig on top. Wear the right footwear with you and you’ll enjoy yourself.

A rainforest trail that leads through the lands of the Yugambeh and Bundjalung people to Rowlands Creek. Access to the trailhead is via a dirt road.
The path follows fire trails and old logging tracks from the cedar cutters. The descent to the creek is your return trail so be prepared for the climb out. There are tracks that follow both sides of the creek, they are unmarked but it’s pretty well-worn.
Hell's Hole Falls is located at the junction before this track. However, Parks NSW does...

This is a casual walk through a lightly visited area of Mount Jerusalem National Park.
The path follows mostly fire trail and maintenance roads through dense bush as it connects to the lookout track. An amazing view through the forest over the lower valleys and distant ranges awaits before turning back and stopping off for a view of Boogarem Falls.
There isn't a designated trail that leads to Boogarem Falls. Due to the potential for harm, this waterfall is not a recognized visiting...

It then diverges shortly after onto a charming section of singletrack that winds along and crosses the creek multiple times before reconnecting with the Whisky Creek Trail and returning to the Manns Road...
