Best trails in Litchfield National Park

This is a great short walk near Darwin in the Northern Territory. Walking in an anticlockwise direction rather than climbing up the steps is recommended. There are some stairs to the Treetop Platforms; then a short climb brings you to the top of the escarpment. Travelling along the escarpment takes you over the feeder creek for Wangi Falls, then down the many formed rock steps to the base of the falls. There is ample parking space for cars and caravans plus access to the car park is via...

This is a beautiful short stroll near Darwin in the Northern Territory. The route follows a trail along the creek to the falls and a plunge pool that feeds into it, with some stairs to get to the top. The swimming hole holes can fill quickly, so avoid crowds early. Unfortunately, the viewing platform for the lookout at the waterfall is obscured by trees. The car park is on the smaller side. The area downstream of the falls is a sacred site, so swimming is prohibited. Stick to the pools at...

This is a great short walk near Darwin in the Northern Territory. The trail uses a paved stone path that crosses Florence Creek several times and is largely in the shade, hence the walk's name. It passes the Florence Falls plunge, which is very popular with swimmers. Before climbing 135 stairs out of the gorge, the trail goes past the falls lookout and onto the trailhead at the car park, which is a decent size with spots for caravans and toilet facilities. Go early to avoid the...

The trail then levels out...

Rather than a return walk to just the lookout, this route follows the gorge above Tolmer Creek in a loop back to the car park. Tolmer Falls cascades over two high cliffs into a plunge pool and is a spectacular sight. Plus, it’s one of many must-see waterfalls within Litchfield National Park. Although the name suggests a walk along Tolmer Creek, it only approaches...

Visitors will find many beautiful spots along the creek and a platform walkway through a section of Monsoon Forest. Be sure to pack your...
