The Nelson Falls, a cascade waterfall, is located in the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Tasmanian Wilderness, in the West Coast region of Tasmania, Australia.
Situated in the Princess River Conservation Area in the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, between Queenstown and the Derwent Bridge, these delightful falls are only 700 metres from the road, making for an easy 20-minute return walk.
Nelson Falls are approx a 30 metre drop. Located along the Lyall Hwy approx 27kms from Queenstown
The walk is easy and is now pram and wheelchair friendly.
As always in the wilderness areas we advise that walkers have good, suitable footwear and warm clothing including a rain jacket. It is essential to be prepared for changeable weather. Heavy rain is possible at any time of the years and footing on tracks can become treacherous.
Pets and firearms are prohibited in the national park and bicycles are not permitted on the tracks.
There is NO need to leave the well constructed path. Beaware of muggles.
