Horsetail Falls
Horsetail Falls is a beautiful seasonal 50-metre waterfall along Moore Creek on the outskirts of Queenstown. It is best viewed after heavy rains in the area, as at other times, it is only a tiny trickle.
Walk along the 1-kilometre boardwalk that winds its way around the mountain for great views of Horsetail Falls and Mt. Owen in the background.
There is a large parking area, well signposted off the Lyell Highway, where the boardwalk begins.
Directions to Horsetail Falls
Head out of Queenstown towards Gormanston on the Lyell Highway; after about 5 kilometres, you will see the parking area and the start of the walking trail.
