“The 22-metre McLean Falls on the Tautuku River in The Catlins Forest Park descend a number of steep drop-offs and terraces, and are often described as the most spectacular in the region.”

The walk to the falls passes through a variety of forest and shrub types: divaricating shrubland, huge tree fuchsia, stands of olearia and podocarp forest. The entrance to the McLean Falls River Walk is 3km from the Southern Scenic Route on Rewcastle Road. A footbridge crosses Duckaday Creek, named by the early settler, McLean, who bathed in it from time to time.

The walk follows an easy grade along the Tautuku River valley. Native trees found along the route are labelled. The path, including boardwalks and footbridges, is maintained by the Department of Conservation and is regularly gravelled. There is a toilet block in the parking lot.
