Horseshoe Falls Tasmania

Horseshoe Falls is a delightful waterfall set in a natural amphitheatre with lovely ferns and mossy rocks in the Mt Field National Park, in Tasmania. Nestled among towering trees and lush ferns, the falls gently cascade into a shallow pool, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful stop or a family-friendly walk. Its tranquil setting makes Horseshoe Falls a lovely addition to any visit to the National Park.
