"Located along the eastern border of the four-million-acre Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, the island’s first national park mixes swamp gums, stringybarks, and massive tree ferns with snow gums and deciduous beech trees at higher elevations. Depending on the season, you might walk the suspension bridge to the three-tier stunner Russell Falls or take the Pandani Grove walk around Lake Dobson—keep your eyes peeled for platypus. In winter, skiers, snowboarders, and backcountry trekkers can explore the lakes and glacial terrain of the Tarn Shelf. In autumn, the same area blazes red and orange on hikes to the Twilight Tarn Hut, an unofficial ski museum. Five other huts offer basic accommodation year-round at 3,280 feet."

We did the 3 falls walk on our way to lake saint clair. It is beautiful and very easy access. We see one padiemelon during the wlak. But it wasn't easy to find accomodation around and I would recommend to stay over night if you don't have to.

Such a beautiful place,walking through the national park and seeing the tall trees as you continue on you take in the beauty of this place,just breathtaking and connecting with nature you forget about everything. On to Horseshoe Falls,just so beautiful and the final falls is Russell Falls,so spectacular I didn't want to leave. Our walk ended at the visitor centre where we had lunch and a look around. Overall a must do while in Hobart.

Verry nice area to walk. It is accessible with a stroller or a wheelchair and kid friendly the first waterfall, second one you need to walk a lot of stairs.

Visiting second time. Very serene walk along with tall trees, birds chirping and water sounds. Loved it.

Well serviced Campground , although sites are a little on the small side. Fantastic access to a variety of walks. Visitor centre has a cafe with a good menu and coffee, and staff are super helpful.

Two parks in one! The beautiful tall trees and waterfalls of the valley & a second, more wild alpine park half an hour drive up a winding dirt road. They are both incredible parks. There is a trail for everyone and a cafe to boot!

Enjoyed our 2.5 hr hike of the three falls circuit. Russell Falls and Lady Baron Falls are definitely the best. We recommend doing the hike in an anticlockwise direction. This does mean there are two sections that have stairs to climb (around 400 steps total) but the majority of the hike is sloping downwards. It also means that 20min in you see Russell Falls and shortly after Horseshoe Falls. If you go the clockwise direction, you are walking mostly on an incline and then going down both sets of stairs. Going in an anticlockwise direction…We found the first part of the hike the best as it is really lush rainforest and mostly all undercover. But the end of it is slightly more dry, bush land and more exposed to the sun. If you struggle physically with long hikes, just go to Russell Falls and turn back to return to the Visitor Centre. That is the best part of this hiking trail. The toilets in the Visitor Centre are clean. And there’s heaps of car parks. Definitely worth the 1 hr drive north from Hobart.

We loved this National Park, especially the fact that there were so many walks on offer, from easy half hour to easy 2 hour plus, moderate and more! The easiest walk was the wheelchair and stroller friendly path to Russell Falls. From here, there are about 200 steps up to Horseshoe Falls. The path then connects to the Three Falls Track across to Lady Barron Falls via the Tall Trees Track. The paths had clear signs and were well used. We spotted pademelons, wag tails, yellow crested cockatoos and green parrots along the 2 hour loop walk. The Three Falls Track is considered challenging in the brochure because of some steep sections. TIP: If climbing UP stairs is your preference, then start at Russell Falls, climb UP to Horseshoe Falls and later UP stairs after Lady Barron Falls. If going DOWN stairs suits you best, start by heading to Lady Barron Falls and ending at Russell Falls! The Waterfalls Cafe at the Visitor Centre had great coffee, and the lemon and poppy seed muffin and carrot cake were delicious, and reasonably priced.
