Keppel Falls

Yarra Ranges National Park

On your Lady Talbot Drive adventure, take a break at Keppel Falls. Beginning at the Keppel Falls Walk carpark off Lady Talbot Drive, follow the thundering sound of the falls along the track and over the footbridge. Glossy ferns will guide your way to the falls where you can watch the Taggerty River cascade over enormous boulders.

During wet weather, the trail may be inaccessible for two-wheel-drive cars due to boggy roads. The best time to visit Keppel Falls is during the warmer months where you can cool off in the shade of this stunning walk.
