Part of the Daintree National Park, Mossman Gorge is one of the most popular visitor spots in the Wet Tropics. The rainforest walks are spectacular and the creek offers scenic views and opportunities for swimming. You can picnic by the river and spend hours relaxing in the cool shade of the rainforest. The Short Loop takes you along the banks of Mossman River, with plenty of spots to swim and play in the g the banks.

The Gorge Circuit is a three kilometre return loop which continues on from the short walk along the Mossman River and takes you over the old wooden suspension bridge and up into some towering rainforest. Listen to the many different bird calls and spend some time pondering the magnificence of the giant fig trees with their roots snaking along the forest floor. Escape the crowds of the carpark and wander the primeval rainforest with its rivers full of boulders and small ferny creeks.
