Box Creek is a sequential series of granite slab waterfalls in the Kanangra Boyd National Park. It's one of the easiest Kanangra canyons and a great option if you want a gentler second day after tackling one the bigger Kanangra canyons.
Water levels can range from a trickle to a pumping cascade. High flow conditions increase the technical difficulty requiring advanced canyoning skills.
