Triplet Falls Circuit is a 1.8km, grade 2 hike located in Great Otway National Park, Victoria. The hike should take around 45 minutes to complete.
Hike overview
The Triplet Falls Circuit is a short but very pretty walk, and the falls are arguably the most spectacular falls in the Great Otway National Park. The walk starts at the carpark and can be walked in either direction, but it is recommended to take the path to the left at the beginning. The walk takes you through some really beautiful ancient forests with some very large Mountain Ash trees. You will see the lower cascades shortly before the main falls. After taking time to view the falls return to the carpark.
