About Knyvet Falls

Knyvet Falls is situated on Pencil Pine Creek, a short distance downstream from Pencil Pine Falls. The walking track, known as Knyvet Falls Track, commences across the road from Cradle Mountain Lodge, which can be taken to view both Pencil Pine Falls and Knyvet Falls, and takes about 30 minutes return to view both waterfalls from the lookouts.

The lookout for Knyvet Falls is right next to the top of the waterfall, however a nicer vantage of the waterfall can be seen a little bit further along the track.

Topo maps marked the location of Knyvet Falls incorrectly, placing it too far downstream and at the location of Roberts Falls. Roberts Falls has not been officially nomenclatured but the two  waterfalls were named after brother Richard and Knyvet Roberts who were early explorers of the area with photographer Stephen Spurling III who took the first known photos of the waterfalls.
