Route/Trail notes:

All walks start from the picnic area. Follow the signposted route to the left to Cranages Lookout and then down to the base of the falls and return by the same route.

Take care as this walk has many steps (257) and is steep, slippery and strenuous in sections.

Option of continuing on to Fish Falls which is about 4km return.

Many people will include the Broken Falls Lookout walk by taking the right hand track as you return to the picnic area.

Permits/Costs:

None.

Other References/Comments:

The Grampians are a haven for bushwalkers from short strolls to multiday adventures. From Very Easy to Hard. You could spend a couple of weeks here and still not complete them all.

There are a number of Bush Camps in the area, but most people would stay in Halls Gap where there is plenty of accommodation options.

Comments

What a great way to get to the base of the falls and enjoy the cascading waterfalls all around you.

Stairs all the way down can be slow going when busy as it's one way. Would recommend doing the easy walk to fish falls, very nice

This is quite a beautiful walk. When we were there it was raining, but it was still busy. There were people everywhere.
