    Update: Reopening of Ferntree Waterfalls Road and Ferntree Day Visitor Site


    After many months of planning and works, Ferntree Visitor Area, Ferntree Waterfall walking track and the Ferntree Waterfalls Road will be reopening on Friday 21 November 2025.

    This popular site once again offers visitors a picnic experience and a short walk to the base of the beautiful Ferntree Falls. The reopening of the day visitor area includes car parking, picnic tables, toilets (portable toilets will be in place until new amenities are installed), and an improved walking track with a new pedestrian bridge leading to the base of the falls.

    Please note that access to the Ferntree day visitor area is currently only available via Ferntree Waterfalls Road. The remainder of the park, including the Ferntree, Bails, and Middle Creek campgrounds remains closed while recovery works continue.

    Fire recovery works in the Mount Buangor State Park has been complex and staff continue to work hard to reopen visitor sites, roads and walking tracks. We hope to announce further openings early next year.
