The trad climbing at the bottom of the falls, below the Skyrail and Kuranda Train Barron Falls stops.
It is illegal to walk on the train tracks, but there are plenty of legal ways to avoid walking on these.
Park at the Barron Falls lookout carpark and walk along the boardwalk in the rainforest canopy until its end. Here you will cross a bridge over the railway track and walk down to the platform. There is a lookout above the platform, with below it a board with information. From this info board walk to the fence line looking at the falls and follow right to the fence's dead end. Either jump the fence or walk around it here (there is room to walk around it below the above platform lookout) and follow the now dirt track all the way to the base of the falls. Many concrete stairways will reveal themselves to you, this helps you realise that this is the right way. BEWARE steep in sections so be careful (boots or good hikers with traction advised). Locals use track so give way.
Take all rubbish away from falls and track even if it isn't yours, please help keep these parks and surrounds pristine.
