ネルソン郡のおすすめツーリングルート

Limited parking

During the ride down just arond the corner of the road you will see this view

An alternative to the sometimes busy parking lot a little further away, directly at the waterfalls. From here you can also walk to the Doyles River Falls, a total of approximately 2.5 km extra.

Here is a parking lot from which you can walk the shortest route to the waterfalls below. Literally at the bottom because prepare yourself for a downhill descent of about 375 m to the waterfalls and then of course another 375 m uphill back to the parking lot. Beautiful walk, no views and in the summer when we were there less water due to the waterfalls and river. You have to cross the river on foot and that may be a bit of a challenge with more water. There is a lot of wildlife to see along the way, we saw squirrels, deer, but also many birds and a milk snake. Bring water and wear good shoes.
