Oaklands Road, Hazelbrook

Located near Hazelbrook, Horseshoe Falls is a hidden gem that offers a more magical experience than the region's larger walks. The track winds through lush rainforest and ancient ferns, leading to a dramatic sandstone overhang that forms a natural amphitheater.

The true magic of this spot lies in the ability to walk directly behind the veil of water, looking out through the mist at the vibrant green canopy. It is particularly enchanting after rainfall when the flow is strong, and at night, the cave ceiling often transforms into a galaxy of shimmering glow worms.

From Horseshoe Falls you can continue along the track to Oakland and Burgess Falls.
