Three Falls Circuit

2 h 30 min to 3 h 45 min 3

6.7 km ↑ 428 m Moderate track Circuit ↓ 428 m

Starting from the Mount Field Visitor Centre on Lake Dobson Road, Mount Field National Park, this circuit walk takes you past Russell Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Lady Barron Falls. The first part of the track toward Russell Falls is wheelchair and pram accessible. From here, the track becomes steeper, taking you to Horseshoe Falls. Stop to admire the giant trees as you walk along the Tall Trees Walk before coming to the last falls on the walk, the Lady Barron Falls. Take your time on the track and soak in the nature around you. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
