Access to the falls is via a 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) walking track.[3]

Camping facilities and the walking track to Kearneys Falls were closed in 2006 due to severe damage by both Tropical Cyclone Larry and Tropical Cyclone Monica.[4] Camping facilities are available at the camp site and the track to the falls is open.
