Nigretta Falls

Nigretta Falls drops 25 meters over red rhyolitic cliffs, creating multiple cascading streams that flow into a deep pool at the base.

The waterfall, formerly called Upper Wannon Falls, marks a significant section of the Wannon River that originates in the Grampians mountains.

The reserve forms part of the Dundas Tablelands natural region, where native plants and wildlife create an ecological corridor for local species.

Visitors reach the falls via a sealed road from Hamilton, with parking facilities, barbecue areas, and viewing platforms available at the scenic reserve.

During winter months, the water volume increases substantially, creating patterns across the volcanic rock face that earned it the nickname Little Niagara Falls.
