Somersby Falls

Highlights

Somersby Falls is the perfect spot to cool off and explore! Follow the short walking trail from the picnic area down to the bottom of the falls, stopping at lookout points along the way. After heavy rain, the falls are especially powerful and beautiful, so don’t forget your camera!

Keep an eye out for local wildlife like water dragons, frogs, and even kookaburras laughing in the trees. After your walk, relax in the shade with a picnic. This is a great place for kids and teens to enjoy nature and have a peaceful day out.

What You Need To know

Guidelines

Always do some research before heading out for your journey. Visit the parks website for the most up to date information.
Always enjoy waterfalls from trails and marked viewing points. Do not climb over barriers as cliff edges and slippery surfaces may cause injury or death.
Only swim where permitted. Don’t jump from cliff edges into water bodies.
Swimming near or under waterfalls can be dangerous due to strong currents, submerged hidden rock ledges and other dangers. The force of a waterfall can be incredibly strong and unfortunately, many people have drowned. Follow warning signs and take caution.
Ensure you observe all safety signs. Always stay on the marked tracks where possible. Never climb fences, they are there for your own safety.
Wear suitable footwear and always ensure to bring a hat and sunscreen to protect yourself from the elements when exploring Australia.
Please consider the environment, take your rubbish with you or place in the bins provided. We want to ensure these beautiful places are still here for our future generations to enjoy.
Parking, camping and national park fees may apply. See parks website for more details.
Please do not feed the wildlife.
