Dotted with scenic lookouts, Dangars Falls walking track is short on distance but long on stunning waterfall vistas. Do this 600m return walk on a day trip as a short detour off Waterfall Way. Or combine it with other walks when staying at nearby Dangars Gorge campground.

Starting from Dangars Falls picnic area, the walk takes in spectacular lookouts over Dangars Falls and the gorges of Salisbury Waters. A series of steps delivers you to a viewing platform right over the cascades of Dangers Falls. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the beauty of the falls, especially after periods of rain when they’re at their most sublime.

Nature lovers will find much to enjoy here. Spectacular old growth Gondwana Rainforest flourishes in gorges, and a microclimate along the gorge rims creates an environment where threatened plants survive. Animal lovers will want to keep an eye out for endangered brush-tailed rock wallabies as well as the diverse suite of birds that call this place home.

If this taste of gorge country kindles your spirit of adventure, try the more challenging McDirtys and Salisbury Waters walking tracks, both nearby.
