Mount Damper Falls, 74-meter waterfall in Waitaanga Conservation Area, North Island, New Zealand.
Mount Damper Falls creates a vertical drop where the Mount Damper Stream plunges from a sandstone cliff into a deep pool surrounded by native vegetation.
Government surveyor L C Sladden made the first documented discovery of Mount Damper Falls in 1900 while conducting work in the Waro Survey District.
The waterfall sits near the Tihi-Manuka trail, a traditional path that Maori people used to connect the Taumaranui region with the north Taranaki coast.
The falls require a 40-minute return walk through farmland and forest, with two viewing platforms offering different perspectives of the water cascade.
Between August and October, the walking track closes annually for the lambing season as the path crosses through active sheep farming territory.
