Triplet Falls Loop Walk

1.8 km circuit

45 min to 1 h

Triplet Falls Loop Walk

Starting from the Triplet Falls Carpark on Phillips Track, Wyelangta, this walk loops through the rainforest on a well marked and maintained track, going past the Triplet Falls. Enjoy a short and peaceful walk through lush rainforest, on a track with plenty of stairs and boardwalks, and multiple viewing platforms. The falls are spectacular, and are usually flowing well even when there haven't been any recent rainfalls. The visibility of the falls may be partially blocked by natural foliage growing in front of the viewing areas. For a better view, it's possible to climb down to the base of the waterfall. Exploring beyond the falls lookout, there are relics of an early 1900s sawmill operation to be discovered. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Phantom Falls Walk

3.4 km return

1 h to 1 h 30 min

Starting near the Allenvale Carpark on Allenvale Road, this walk follows a track along the Saint George River leading to Phantom Falls and back. The path to the falls starts past a few houses and fields, following along the luscious river bank and then up through the forest. The diverse scenery, the lush nature and the wonderful Pantom Falls are all highlights of this walk. Many birds can be seen and heard, and wild kangaroos can also be spotted grazing through the trees along the way. The best time to see the falls in full flow is during winter and autumn, as they can dry up in summer. The trail can get quite muddy and slippery, and appropriate footwear is recommended. The last section has a steep 500m uphill climb, but seeing the waterfall up close makes the effort worthwhile.

1 h 30 min to 2 h 30 min

Starting from Lake Elizabeth car park, Otway Ranges, this walk pivots around the lake via Lake Elizabeth Walking Track.

You can spot a platypus if lucky, especially in the morning. On the other hand, you can enjoy the glowworms that create a magical ambience in the evening. Parts of the track can get muddy after rain. Keep an eye out for snakes, especially in summer.

Erskine Falls Extended Loop

21 km circuit

7 h to 11 h

Erskine Falls Extended Loop

This walk starts near the Allenvale Road Carpark, at the end of Allenvale Road, Lorne, looping along the Otway Ranges following the Erskine River. Embark on a hike that takes you past Phantom Falls, the Cora Lynn Cascades, Lemonade Creek, Erskine Falls, Straw Falls, Splitter Falls and the Erskine River Rapids. Navigate through lush green foliage and mossy forest, with the gentle sound of the running stream throughout the hike. The walk is long and challenging, but at each waterfall, you are rewarded with spectacular views of water cascading over cliff faces. The trail is quite muddy and damp in some places. There are many river crossings across really slippery rocks, but with the help of hiking poles and some cautious stepping, you can make it through without wet shoes. This walk should not be attempted when the water levels are high. Dogs are allowed on a small portion of this trail, but most of the loop is in Great Otway National Park, which generally does not allow dogs. There is a campsite en route, and this hike can be completed with an overnight stop. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
