The dam has a platypus viewing platform, elevated boardwalk and pontoon bridge. There are picnic and barbecue facilities with wood supplied, benches, tables and children's play equipment. Four walks are available, ranging from 1.2 kilometres (20 minutes) to six kilometres (two hours) in length. Water Dragon Walk takes you up the hill to the lookout.

Also located in the Lismore area (same as Nightcap), there are four excellent hiking trails starting from the Rocky Creek Dam picnic area. • Water Dragon Walk – considered an easy walk, taking about 20 minutes, takes you up to a lookout where you can view the dam’s spillway. Make sure to look for water dragons and whip snakes on the dam wall (but don’t touch them!). • Platypus Walk – this 30-minute hiking trail, also considered easy, meanders through forest and includes going across the pontoon bridge and along the broadwalk beside the creek. • Cedar Walk – this longer walk should take about 50 minutes and might even get your feet wet. It travels the edges of the reserve through the forest and into areas where the rainforest is being regenerated by the Rous Water reserve. • Scrub Turkey Walk – this is the most difficult walk in the area and takes about 1 ½ to 2 hours to complete. During the walk, you’ll be head in the mature Big Scrub rainforest, part of the Nightcap National Park, and go to Catchment Loop Drive and then across the spillway and dam wall. Also, a note for families, there is a fun Forest Playground, located under the rainforest trees in the picnic area.

There are four beautiful walks that you can do from the Picnic Area at Rocky Creek Dam. They are designed so that you can experience different aspects of the Rainforest Reserve. For each of these walks, just follow the symbols and arrows on the post. Follow Magill along the Water Dragon Walk. Djanbung will lead you through the Platypus Walk and Gadjul will take you on the Scrub Turkey Track. [These names for the creatures are in Wi-abul, the language of the Widjabul custodians of this land.] Please note: you can walk across the spillway of the dam (a large area of gently sloping concrete on the other side of the dam wall) unless the dam is full and water is flowing over it. * check status after flooding
