Snug Falls

3 km return

45 min to 1 h

20 min to 30 min

Starting from the car park on Snug Falls Road, Snug, this walk takes you to Snug Falls. Located just outside the quiet coastal town of Snug, the popular Snug Falls is a beautiful waterfall that cascades down 25 metres into a small amphitheatre-like gorge. The walk begins in dry sclerophyll forest, gradually descending to the fern-lined gully beneath the falls. Along the way, there are some small sandstone caves that are worth checking out. Once down on the valley floor, there are many areas to explore along the creek, with the falls providing a lovely backdrop for a picnic or simply relaxing in nature. The falls have good water flow almost all year round, but are especially impressive after heavy rains. The walk is fairly easy and suitable for families, but is more challenging on the way back as it's entirely uphill. The trail is rough in places and can get muddy in wet weather. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash. 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.

Pelverata Falls

Pelverata Falls

Starting from the car park at the end of Crosswells Road, Snug Tiers Nature Recreation Area, this walk takes you to Pelverata Falls. Enjoy a pleasant hike through the Snug Tiers to Pelverata Falls, one of Tasmania's tallest waterfalls, cascading 114 metres down a vertical dolerite gorge. Leaving the car park, the trail initially passes alongside farmland before entering dense eucalyptus forest. Boardwalks cover some of the muddy areas as the trail meanders through a section of rainforest, and towards the end, handrails are provided at some steep rocky areas. The trail climbs along a large rock spree before a short steep descent towards the lookout platform, which provides an excellent view of Pelverata Falls and the creek below. The falls are particularly impressive after heavy rains and are often drier in the summer months. Below the lookout is a steep side trail leading down to the creek, recommended only for experienced bushwalkers as the rocks are dangerous and slippery, especially in wet conditions. 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.
