Cloudy Creek is one of a variety of short walks in the Paluma area. This walking track leads through the rainforest from McClelland's lookout, which is the perfect place for a picnic lunch and affords panoramic views of Halifax Bay, Crystal Creek and the Palm Islands. The walk takes you through an impressive stand of mountain rainforest.

Along the path educational signs tell you all about various plants and features of the rainforest. Because of the high elevation, the walk is often cool and shrouded in mist. After taking in the stunning mountain scenery from Witts Lookout, the track then diverges to the left down a reasonably steep hill to Cloudy Creek in the gully below.
