NOTE: Access to Upper Liffey Falls Day Use Area and associated facilities will be closed from 3pm on Monday the 11th August 2025 for 1 day to facilitate road maintenance works along Riversdale Road. Access is expected to re-open to the Upper Liffey Falls Day use area by 3pm 12th August 2025.
These works will increase visitor safety and improve access to the upper day use area and facilities. We ask visitors to adhere to the signs and not to enter the area during the closure period. Pedestrian access to the falls will still be possible via the Liffey Falls walking track, which starts from the Liffey Campground (off Bogan Rd).
Parks and Wildlife Service apologise for any inconvenience. For further enquiries please call the Great Western Tiers Field Centre on (03) 6701 2104.
There are two walking tracks through cool temperate rainforest to Liffey Falls, which is part of Tasmania’s Wilderness World Heritage area. Liffey Falls Track from the upper car park (2 km return) passes beneath towering eucalypts and massive tree ferns, and there are lookout points along the way at different levels of the falls. There is some uphill walking on your return to the car park.
Due to the narrow gravel road into the car park, the Upper Falls track is not accessible to long wheelbase vehicles such as caravans and motorhomes. Please take the alternate route via Liffey to the lower car park and start your walk there.
The track from the lower car park and campground follows the Liffey River up through temperate rainforest to the main falls and back again (6km return). This walk is longer but has a gentler incline than the upper track.
Both walks provide beautiful examples of Tasmania's temperate rainforest and ancient river systems.
Time: 45 min return from the upper car park, 3 hours return from the lower car park.
Grade 2: Suitable for most ages. The track has a hardened or compacted surface that may have a gentle hill section or sections, and occasional steps.
