Reaching the Cemerong fall is quite an expedition because of its remoteness and lack of signage.From Kuantan you follow the Inland Highway to Kuala Terengganu. About halfway you will pass a small river, the Paka river. Take the first road to your left. Coordinates of the junction are N 04° 35.854' E 103° 12.542'. From this junction it is about 30 km on a good tar road to the Entrance of the Recreation Park. From the coastal Highway you can cross over to the Inland one at Kemanan or Dungun.
Near to the carpark, a trail follows the river downhill. Hidden in thick forest you will find a few very attractive waterfalls in a steep ravine (be careful!). There is a nice place to camp nearby.
At the left side of the Lower Fall a trail starts uphill. In the beginning it is cemented. The stream is very quiet here and there are beautiful buttressed trees. Do NOT cross the stream on the new over-sized bridge. Keep following the left side of the stream. The trail becomes less easy, but a suspension bridge and ropes help a lot.
