Why it's worth checking out
Mapleton Falls Lookout sits on Mapleton Falls Road at Mapleton, in the lush green Sunshine Coast hinterland. A 4.6 rating from 117 reviews reflects just how lovely the outlook is.
The appeal is the view — a spectacular vantage point over the Mapleton Falls, where the creek plunges into the valley below, set amid lovely national-park rainforest. It's a brilliant, free spot for a photo, a moment of calm or a short walk, a genuine highlight of the hinterland's high country.
Lookouts and tracks can have changing conditions, seasonal hazards and varying water flow, so check current conditions before you go and take care near the edges. Wear suitable footwear, bring water, and enjoy this lovely natural spot — the falls are best after rain.
