There are five beautiful short walks that you can do from the Picnic Area at Rocky Creek Dam. Each walk has been designed to experience different aspects of the Rainforest Reserve which is managed by Rous Water.

• The Water Walk is a 60m wheelchair-accessible educational trail that takes you from the carpark to a lookout over the dam.
• Water Dragon Walk - 1.2km return, approximately 20 minutes, easy - walk near the water's edge, across the dam wall, up the hill to the lookout to view the spillway, and back.
• Platypus Walk - 1.5km, approximately 30 minutes, easy - a relaxing walk through lightly forested land, across the pontoon bridge over Rocky Creek, along the elevated boardwalk beside the creek, through grassy glades, and back across the dam wall.
• Cedar Walk - 2.3km, approximately 50 minutes, easy, but could involve getting your feet wet! - this longer walk takes you to the edge of the Rous County Council Rainforest Reserve, through patches of forest, and into areas of rainforest regeneration. You will see forest at different stages of regeneration, cross Rocky Creek, the spillway and dam wall, as well as visit a small plantation of cabinet timbers.
• Scrub Turkey Walk - 6km return, 1.5 to 2 hours return from carpark to Catchment Loop Drive, medium difficulty - walk through the Rainforest Reserve along any of the other walks to the Cedar Walk on the other side of Rocky Creek. From here, walk into the Big Scrub rainforest of Nightcap National Park, to the Catchment Loop Drive, and back across the spillway and dam wall.
