Hiking

Deep in the humid and moist microclimate of Glenariff Forest lies the impressive Inver River Waterfall. These gushing falls plummet down a jagged rock face into a deep pool below. If you're feeling adventurous, there is an option to scramle to the top of the waterfall where you can view the cascade from a different perspective.

A dream place to watch and swim. Is easy to reach via a hiking trail. Not far from there is a restaurant with a beautiful outdoor terrace.

Waterfall Trail via Rainbow Trail — Antrim Coast & Glens

4.56km

01:21

140m

Embark on an easy hike through Glenariff Forest Park on the Waterfall Trail via Rainbow Trail. This route covers 2.8 miles (4.6 km) with an elevation gain of 447 feet (136 metres), taking about 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete. You will wind through a lush river gorge, passing impressive waterfalls like Ess-na-Larach and Ess-na-Crub, and traverse elevated timber boardwalks that lead you directly alongside the river.

When planning your visit, be aware that while the trail is generally easy and family-friendly, it does feature some steep sections, steps, and boardwalks, especially when descending into the gorge. Some parts can be uneven or muddy, so sturdy footwear is a good idea. The park is accessible, and you can find parking facilities there; check the official park website for any potential fees or specific opening times before you go.

This trail is a highlight within Glenariff Forest Park, known as "the Queen of the Glens" and considered one of Northern Ireland's best waterfall walks. Part of Glenariff Glen is a National Nature Reserve, recognized for its rich biodiversity, particularly the unique mosses, liverworts, and ferns thriving in the rocky gorges. The combination of stunning waterfalls, dense woodland, and the distinctive boardwalk creates a memorable hiking adventure.
