Not a strenuous hike. Don't go here for a physical challenge. Go for a walking meditation, when you want to drink in the lovely forest, and water scenery and serenity. Lovely

We had a wonderful few hours here hiking the trails. Not difficult at all. Great waterfalls to view and some interesting walking bridges to cross. Very safe and very charming. Go for a walk, you won’t be disappointed

Living in the area, one often becomes complacent with the natural beauty that surrounds us but visiting friends remind us of how fortunate we are to live nearby. Cliff Gilker Park is an awesome spot to wander amongst the tree-shaded trails in the Summer months and soak your feet in the cool waters of Clack Creek at the base of the small waterfall near the playground and in the winter months when the rains are "greening up" the forests, the waters rush over the rocks for a whole different setting, with the moss laden branches above (watch closely for owls). The restrooms near the playing area are kept clean too. Next door @ the Sunshine Coast Golf & Country Club is a nice restaurant that is open to the public or stop by Sharkey's just up Roberts Creek Road (turn right at the light leaving the park) for the best fish n' chips anywhere that you can enjoy @ the park. Afterwards, be sure to head down Roberts Creek Road (turn left at the light) and visit the iconic Roberts Creek General Store for the best ice cream cones and awesome flavors! Enjoy.

We spent a few hours wandering the trails in Cliff Gilker. To be honest we weren't expecting much as no one we talked to who had previously visited had gone. But it was a great little park with gorgeous trails and beautiful waterfalls. It was well maintained and very peaceful.

Beautiful restful place to walk. Dog friendly but they should be leashed. Great for exploring in every season.

This park was fabulous. Ample parking at the trailhead, next to the Sunshine Coast Golf Course. After turning off the highway, you will drive up the gravel roadway to parking. There's a public bathroom available.
There are 4 main trails, plus a couple other ones. Each are WELL-MARKED by color. They all loop back/intersect with each other at some point so you really can't get lost.
We did them all in just over 2 hours (incl lots of photo stops). Overall, the trails are moderate with some hills but wide pathways, cleared, as I said, well-maintained.
My favorite was the lower part of the "red" trail. Lots of wooden bridges and waterfalls. Combined with the evergreen trees, it was truly very scenic. There are benches placed at various points throughout.
There is a short pathway ("yellow" trail) that is marked suitable for wheelchairs, walkers, disabled access to be able to enjoy some of this gorgeous nature views.

This is a perfect trail to let the kids get of some steam. You can choose lengths according to fitness level and needs. There is easy to get around, to park and to find the place.
The forest is beautiful and wild.
I think most people would like a stroll here.

This park has a variety of easy walk/hikes to choose from. It was so beautiful, we ended up doing almost all of them. Nice waterfall and boardwalks.

The trails are very well maintained through the forest along and over the creek. Lovely waterfalls. A few benches along the trails to rest and just enjoy the scenery.

We only did the 1km round trip to see the waterfalls, but it was beautiful. Great spot for all ages, and for dogs! The trails are very clear and well maintained, and there's plenty of them to choose from!
