Horseshoe (Burgess) Falls Track

Horseshoe (Burgess) Falls Track

2.6 km return

1 h to 2 h

Starting from the Burgess Falls Walking Track in Hazelbrook, the Horseshoe (Burgess) Falls Track is a return walk that takes you through a natural landscape. This walk is pet friendly and perfect for taking your furry friends with you (adult). You will come across a number of waterfalls, including Horseshoe Falls (and the cave behind), Oakland Falls, Burgess Falls, Fairy Falls, Glow Worm Nook Falls, and Lena Falls. It is best to wear joggers or hiking boots as the track can be slippery and muddy after rain. Large fallen-down trees make the atmosphere stronger but also block some of the water flow to Burgess Falls, meaning you will need to climb over them in some sections of the track. For the best experience, it is recommended to take this walk after heavy rainfall. Additionally, autumn is a great season to visit as there is a wider variety of fungi to observe. After following the track for 500m, you will emerge in close proximity to various shops and amenities, including the Hazelbrook Bowling Club, while restrooms can be found on a street nearby, along with facilities for having a nice meal or a drink. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
