On Falls Road is the small but picturesque state reserve of Falls Park, also known as Parkerville Falls, where the creek tumbles over granite boulders and slides down a rockslope during the wet seasons. There is a strategic picnic area on a levelled spot higher up from the water but the terrain is mostly suited to rockhoppers and creek explorers.
