Upana Falls are located at Upana Caves. The Upana Cave system is located about 17 km west of Gold River, on Head Bay Forest Rd. These caves are just awesome to hike in, and you can find everything here in formations and cave life, like crickets and spiders, to photograph. The highlight of this site has to be the waterfalls.

These caves are quite beautiful and well worth the hike, but bring warm clothing as even in the summer months, it’s chilly in the cave.
