Horseshoe Falls

Horseshoe Falls

Horseshoe Falls is a delightful waterfall set in a natural amphitheatre with lovely ferns and mossy rocks in the Mt Field National Park.

The path to Russell Falls is sealed and suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. Completing the 1.4-kilometre circuit takes approximately 25 minutes.

Ten minutes past Russell Falls, via a steep track with lots of stone steps and a wooden stepped boardwalk, is the gorgeous Horseshoe Falls, set in a delightful forest setting.

It is a beautiful place to sit and relax and enjoy the tranquillity.

Russell Falls and Horseshoe Falls are some of the most popular and visited Waterfalls in Tasmania, and you will know why when you see these beautiful waterfalls.

If you are lucky, you may see a platypus in the river at the top of Russell Falls along the path to Horseshoe Falls.
