Above the Leichhardt Falls, the Savannah Way crosses the river between Burketown and Normanton . Nearby, on the western bank of the river, is the settlement of New Amraynald .
The falls are not particularly high, but are significant because of their width and many steps. Like the river, they are named after the German-Australian explorer Ludwig Leichhardt (1813–1848).
