MacKenzie Falls
MacKenzie Falls in The Grampians is one of Victoria's largest and most spectacular waterfalls. The water cascades 35 metres down the rugged cliff face and plunges into a deep pool at the base of the falls.
MacKenzie Falls flows all year round due to water from the MacKenzie River being released upstream at Lake Wartook. The spacious grounds are a lovely place to enjoy the waterfall, relax, and picnic.
The Walk - 2 Kilometres return - 1 Hour - Moderate
The walk to MacKenzie Falls starts at the MacKenzie Falls carpark. Follow the signs along the well-maintained track until you reach an intersection. Take a quick detour at this intersection to see Broken Falls from the lookout, or continue to MacKenzie Falls.
Along this track, you will reach Cranages Lookout, where you can stop and enjoy lovely views of the cliffs and the MacKenzie River. The track then gets narrower with many steps, over 250 steps to the base of the falls. Luckily, there are handrails along this section and several places where you can stop and view the falls on the way down.
At the base of MacKenzie Falls, you can walk across the giant stepping stones, sit on the large section of bedrock, and admire the falls.
Notes:
Large carpark can get very busy.
Picnic tables are available.
Toilets available.
Swimming is not allowed at MacKenzie Falls due to safety reasons.
No dogs are allowed as it is a National Park.
