I have been visiting Kanarra Creek for a few decades now and I have seen some pretty interesting and sketchy contraptions put up at the falls over the years. The current metal staircase was put in place in October 2024 after the previous aluminum staircase was put in place in October 2021 after the previous metal rung ladder on a log washed away in a flash flood after a decade of service. Before that, various makeshift logs and ladders were installed and often didn't last too long.

And the same spot back in 2010. This is the same log, but the wooden rungs were a bit spicier to climb up and down. ![]() |

Kanarra Creek back in 2004. Two ladders in place, but both made you wonder how much a slip and fall would hurt. ![]() |
