About Peak Falls

Peak Rivulet and its tributaries on the northern side of Adamsons Peak are home to at least 10 significant waterfalls, all of which are unnamed on maps. The tallest of all of these is not even marked at all, but given it is the most significant waterfall on Peak Rivulet the name Peak Falls seemed appropriate. At 50 metres high Peak Falls are truly spectacular, but unfortunately are incredibly difficult to reach and hence very rarely visited. 

The best way to get to Peak Falls is via Catwalk Falls, so head to that page for directions on that initial part of the walk. From Catwalk Falls, the going to Peak Falls is mostly more of the same thick scrub, cutting grass and horizontal. On the whole it is probably slightly easier walking than Catwalk Falls, however the distance from Catwalk to Peak Falls is double that of Catwalk to the road, so about 2 hours each way is needed to cover the 1.6km between the waterfalls.
