The journey to Red Cedar Falls typically begins at the Never Never picnic area, accessible after a 25-minute drive from Dorrigo village. While the quickest route spans around 6.8km round trip, adventurers seeking a longer and more scenic path can opt for the Rosewood Creek Circuit, totalling approximately 8.9km. The trail, though challenging in parts, offers rewarding views of the rainforest and various waterholes along the way. The final leg leading to the falls includes a steep climb of about 1.5km and an elevation gain of 210 meters.

However, the well-maintained path makes the descent manageable, with only a few rocky patches to navigate. Upon reaching Red Cedar Falls, visitors are greeted by a mesmerizing cascade plunging into a serene swimming hole. While the spray from the falls can be intense, especially after heavy rainfall, it adds to the allure of the experience. The pool at the base of the falls invites travelers to cool off in its refreshing waters, making it a perfect spot to relax and unwind amidst nature's splendor.
