Snug Falls Track is a 3 km, grade 3 hike in Snug, Tasmania, and typically takes about 1.5 hours to complete. This return track gradually descends through bushland to a cool, fern-lined gully beneath the picturesque Snug Falls.
During spring and summer, keep an eye out for native orchids. In winter, eastern spinebills frequent the area, feeding on the pink and white flowering heath. The sweet nectar of silver banksia flowers attracts crescent and yellow-throated honeyeaters, as well as green rosellas. You might also spot strong-billed honeyeaters hopping up eucalypt trunks, searching for insects.
Once you reach the valley floor, look for the beautiful pink robin feeding among the leaf litter of the wet forests. The falls are particularly impressive after heavy rain, and in summer, it's a great spot to paddle in the shallows on a warm day.
