Mount Field National Park

Enjoyed our 2.5 hr hike of the three falls circuit. Russell Falls and Lady Baron Falls are definitely the best. We recommend doing the hike in an anticlockwise direction. This does mean there are two sections that have stairs to climb (around 400 steps total) but the majority of the hike is sloping downwards. It also means that 20min in you see Russell Falls and shortly after Horseshoe Falls. If you go the clockwise direction, you are walking mostly on an incline and then going down both sets of stairs. Going in an anticlockwise direction…We found the first part of the hike the best as it is really lush rainforest and mostly all undercover. But the end of it is slightly more dry, bush land and more exposed to the sun. If you struggle physically with long hikes, just go to Russell Falls and turn back to return to the Visitor Centre. That is the best part of this hiking trail. The toilets in the Visitor Centre are clean. And there’s heaps of car parks. Definitely worth the 1 hr drive north from Hobart.

Absolutely stunning! 😍 Mount field National park is a perfect spot for a quick and beautiful nature walk. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ The path is well-maintained and the falls are simply breathtaking. ✨ The lush rainforest surrounding the creek adds to the magical atmosphere. 🌿 A must-see in Mount Field National Park! 🏞️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An accessible & brilliant National Park to visit an easy hour & a half drive from Hobart. The Russell Falls were stunning to see and there was plenty of water cascading down the multiple levels the week before Christmas. The Visitor Centre is excellent & clean, staff friendly, and the wheelchair sealed pathway to Russell Falls blends amazingly into the overhanging tree ferns. The photography is so rewarding on this walk, but continue up the pathway & stairs to Horseshoe Falls then onto the Tall Trees Loop for just a small section before returning down to the visitor centre will give you the best two hours max of natural wonders that you could wish for in this Tassie National Park. My two years $50 NP Seniors Car Pass was not much more than two Day Passes. A must see when visiting southern Tasmania.

Yes there's the much photographed Russell falls but there's soooo much more. Tall trees and Alpine walks particularly excellent. Look out for very cute and not shy link Robin in the talk trees walk Recommend tarn shelf walk and take swimmers. Don't miss view over K Col

Beautiful spot to stop for a picnic or several fairly easy bush walks. Stunning tall trees and waterfalls to see

Absolutely beautiful walks catering to a variety of fitness levels. Helpful and friendly staff. Highlight for us was the Growling Swallet, a key is required, speak to rangers.

Great walks and visitor centre with Ranger to answer questions. We did the waterfall circuit, it would be better with more water but still lovely. We also did Tarn walk which took 5hrs in good conditions for fit hikers. Can recommend both walks just don’t do Tarn walk unprepared it was cold up there.

It was pretty cold when we got there. Instead of taking the shuttle bus, we walked about a km or two to get to the nearest trail. It was a short and simple trail. There were some stairs but it was overall manageable for families with young children. Beautiful waterfalls.
