The main feature of the park is the hiking trail that climbs up through the gorge, passing over and under waterfalls. The park has a lower part that is next to the village and an upper part that is open woodland.

They consist mostly of soft shales, with some layers of harder sandstone and limestone The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade.
