Wangi Falls

The Wangi Falls Walk is a return walk starting from the Wangi Falls Campground car park in Litchfield National Park. This easy and smooth flat path takes you directly to the pool, where you can take a dip and enjoy the scenery below the falls. There is a cafe, Gas BBQs, and toilets along the way. Be aware that the falls are regularly closed to swimming during the wet season from October to March, as currents in the pool can become strong and dangerous. The kiosk, camping, and picnic facilities are accessible throughout the year. A park pass is required for visitors to the NT to access this park. Please note that swimming is prohibited above the falls. 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.
