Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway
Innisfail,
Cassowary Coast Area
Description
The Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway is a spectacular walk through the canopy of World Heritage rainforest. It is an iconic tourist attraction in the heart of the Wet Tropics. With a 350 metre long elevated walkway through the canopy, a cantilever, a 37 metre observation tower and more than 1200 metres of walking tracks, this attraction certainly has the ""wow"" factor.
... moreThe cantilever provides tantalising views over the North Johnston river gorge. The 37 metre observation tower emerges high above the canopy, offering sweeping views over a pristine rainforest-clad mountainous landscape, homeland of the Mamu Aboriginal people.
Located within Wooroonooran National Park, the attraction was built in natural clearings in the rainforest caused by cyclone Larry in March 2006 and constructed from durable unpainted galvanised steel and recycled plastic. It is located close to other National Park walking tracks and picnic areas, making a day visit to the area, armed with a picnic hamper and walking shoes, a must-do experience!
Mamu Rainforest Canopy walkway is owned and operated by the Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing. See the web site which contains information to help you plan your visit.
