The Trail
The Silver Falls track is a short and enjoyable stroll for walkers of any ability, shaded by lush eucalypts and ferns for its entirety. Leaving from opposite the Fern Tree Tavern the walk follows the historic Pipeline Track for just under 1km before diverting slightly uphill at the Fern Tree Bower towards the falls. A short climb later the small but lovely falls are reached. Follow the same route to return. |

Introduction One of the most accessible, and beloved, waterfalls in Tasmania is Russell Falls, situated within the Mount Field National Park, 30 minutes past New Norfolk. The path to the Falls is sealed and suitable for wheelchairs or strollers, only taking 20 minutes to complete the 600m circuit. 10 minutes further past Russell Falls, via a steep track, are the gorgeous Horseshoe Falls, a fantastic highlight of the Mount Field National Park.
