Walking and driving instructions

 

Splitters Falls is roughly a 10 minutes’ drive away from Halls Gap Town Centre, or 45 minutes from Dunkeld, or 1.15 hours from Hamilton. From Halls Gap Town Centre head north on the C216. On the junction with C222, turn left and follow it for the next 2.3km. Then turn left onto Wonderland Rd and stay on it for the next 1.2km. The road surface is sealed.

A massive car park is located at the end of the road. Toilets are available here.

From the parking, follow a well-signposted Splitters Falls track: turn left, then descend to the Stoney Creek, cross the creek. According to the maps, there is the Stoney Falls near the crossing. We would not call it falls, it’s more cascade rather than a waterfall. From here, continue on to the track downstream. It’s a rocky trail with some stairs en route. In 15 minutes, turn left onto a side track which leads along the Gulf Stream to the Splitters Falls (5 minutes’ walk from the intersection). It takes roughly 20 minutes to reach the falls’ base from the car park.

The waterfall is a spectacular cascade, but has no water in a dry season. You can come very close and touch the water.

Return via the same track. Or, if you have time (and energy, of course), return to the main trail and continues on to the main trail (downstream) which leads to Venus Baths and then to Halls Gap. We highly recommend on the way back return via Grand Canyon. 5 minutes prior arrival, turn left (signposted) to a track leading to Grand Canyon, walk the loop here and return to the car park. This side track will add 5-10 minutes to your journey.
