Nelson Falls Walk

Discover Main Location Page

The Nelson Falls Walk is a relatively short and easy hike to a stunning waterfall. Located on the Lyell Highway between Queenstown and Strahan, the walk commences at the Nelson Falls car park. From here, a well-maintained track winds through a captivating rainforest. The path is flat with gentle inclines and takes approximately thirty minutes to reach the falls.

Reaching the waterfall is a breathtaking spectacle. The surrounding rainforest, coupled with water cascading down a series of cliffs into a deep pool below, creates a magical scene. A picnic area with tables is located at the base of the falls, offering a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal.

Accessible year-round and suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels, this is an ideal activity for everyone. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water and snacks, and be prepared for varying weather conditions. Exercise caution around the waterfall, as the rocks can be slippery.
