• "Short & easy path takes no more than 5-7mins down to the falls from the car park."
• "Nice lovely walk to the falls from the free car park. You can either take the blue or yellow route, both easy and take about 10-15min."
• "The walk from the carpark to the falls is easy, on a wide path with only a few inclines and should be manageable for most, even those in a wheelchair."
• "Clearly coloured walk to the falls. Good well maintained path to the falls and a lovely bridge to take you over to get a good view."
• "Well maintained paths and boardwalk with good signage."
• "The paths have been upgraded since my last visit several years ago. Now seems a lot easier especially for older and infirm people."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately the walk across the bridge was closed when we visited, so we couldn't access very much of the walk."
• "However as of October 2021 the bridge over the falls is closed, so no access to the far side."
• "Unfortunately at the time of our visit late August 2021 the bridge that provides a better view of the falls was closed."
• "The bridge and falls are not really accessible for wheelchairs."
• "Not suitable for those with mobility issues."
• "The path to Rogie is good until you get to the bridge then it becomes muddy and wet."
• "On the easy trail i would not suggest for someone with moderate mobility issues as there is a rocky/ rubble part of about 2 feet you have to navigate to get to the bridge and viewing point."
