Florence Falls Lookout

Starting from the Florence Falls Carpark, Litchfield Park, this walk takes you to the lookout and back via a singular paved track. Florence Falls is a breathtaking sight as it cascades into a plunge pool surrounded by lush monsoon forest. The lookout is stationed above the canopy, therefore, is able to provide you with expansive vistas of the gorge along with wonderful views of the double falls. The falls are permanent, but they are particularly impressive in the wet season. The viewing platform is wheelchair-accessible, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the magnificent scenery. If you wish to camp nearby, both Florence Falls 2WD and 4WD campgrounds are available. However, make sure to book online in advance, as reservations are mandatory. Speaking of booking, a park pass is required for non-residents of the Northern Territory to access this walk, while camping and multi-day walking fees apply to all visitors. Come early to dodge the crowd. 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.
