Horseshoe Falls, Tasmania

Horseshoe Falls is a picturesque waterfall located in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania. This stunning natural feature is part of the larger network of waterfalls within the park, situated just upstream of the more famous Russell Falls. Named for its distinctive horseshoe shape, Horseshoe Falls is a tiered cascade that offers visitors a tranquil and scenic experience, making it a favorite among nature lovers and photographers.

Getting to Horseshoe Falls

Accessing Horseshoe Falls is relatively easy and rewarding. The journey begins at the Mount Field Visitor Centre, approximately a 1-hour and 15-minute drive from Hobart. From the visitor centre, a well-maintained walking track leads visitors through the lush rainforest to Russell Falls, a journey of about 20 minutes on a wheelchair-accessible path. From there, a short but steep bushwalking track continues for an additional 10 minutes to reach Horseshoe Falls. The entire hike is approximately 1.6 kilometers round trip and is considered suitable for most fitness levels.

Experience at the Falls

Horseshoe Falls is often described as a hidden gem within Mount Field National Park. The waterfall resides within a natural amphitheater, creating a serene and captivating atmosphere. The multi-tiered cascade of water over the rocks is particularly striking after rainfall when the water flow is at its peak. The area surrounding the falls is rich with Tasmanian rainforest vegetation, including towering tree ferns and moss-covered trees, providing a lush and verdant backdrop.

Tips for Visiting

  • Best Time to Visit: Horseshoe Falls can be visited year-round, but the best time to see the falls in full flow is during the wetter months from May to September.
  • What to Bring: Visitors should bring sturdy walking shoes, water, and a camera to capture the stunning scenery. Rain gear is advisable during the wetter months.
  • Safety: The path to the falls can be slippery, so caution is advised, especially after rain. Always stay on the designated paths to protect the fragile rainforest environment.
