Kurşunlu Şelalesi can be reached by turning left from the 15th kilometre of the Antalya–Mersin highway and travelling approximately 7 kilometres. The waterfall is situated at an elevation of 80 metres above sea level within a two-kilometre-long canyon. It is easily accessible by private vehicle, municipal bus, or minibus.

The waterfall is located on Antalya’s travertine formations, where the falling water creates a small pool known as a “devkazan.” This pool measures approximately 36 metres in length, 45 metres in width, and 5 to 6 metres in depth. The surrounding pine forests are enriched with laurel, terebinth, wild olive, and mastic trees. Additionally, aquatic plants such as water lilies, water mint, and reeds thrive here.

Kurşunlu Şelalesi Nature Park is home to rabbits, squirrels, foxes, wild boars, turtles, and various bird species. Birds such as the woodpecker, hoopoe, and mallard duck can be observed, along with fish including trout, mullet, and snakehead.
