Horseshoe Falls, Tiered cascade waterfall in Mount Field National Park, Tasmania

Horseshoe Falls is a tiered waterfall in Mount Field National Park where water drops across multiple rocky ledges stacked one above the other. Each layer of stone creates a distinct cascade, giving the falls their stepped appearance as water tumbles downward.

The falls descend over horizontal marine Permian siltstone benches, while the vertical faces are made of resistant sandstone layers. The tiered cascade lies 100 metres upstream of Russell Falls in Mount Field National Park, about 70 kilometres northwest of Hobart via the Brooker Highway to New Norfolk.

Horseshoe Falls is named for the curve of its cascade, and it sits 100 metres upstream of Russell Falls on the same stream in Mount Field National Park. Walkers on the Three Falls Circuit pass both drops, and the falls are among the park's most visited features, drawing large numbers of tourists each year.

You can reach the falls by walking on a marked trail through the park that typically takes about an hour for a round trip. The path is relatively flat in most places, though good footwear helps since the ground can be wet or muddy in spots.

The falls drop over horizontal marine Permian siltstone benches, while their vertical faces are made of resistant sandstone layers. They sit just 100 metres upstream of Russell Falls, so both drops can be seen on one walk from the park entrance.
