Evercroech Falls, White Knights Walk and Epic Camping in Evercroech Forest Reserve

Evercroech Falls, White Knights Walk and Epic Camping in Evercroech Forest Reserve

The EverCroech Forest Reserve is an incredibly underestimated forest area in the northeast of Tasmania, which offers two picturesque rainforest hikes and great camping opportunities. Read this complete guide to visit the EverCroech Forest, including photos and information about the White Knights Walk and EverCreech Falls.

Originally, the EverCroech Forest Reserve should be a short stopover to explore Evercreech Falls and the famous “White Knights of Evercroech”. However, after we saw how nice the reserve was and the fact that we would have it all of ourselves, we couldn't help but stay overnight.

In this blog post, I will describe everything the EverCroech Forest has to offer, including the short hikes on both evercroecroech Falls and the highly towering white rubbers, which are known as "White Knights".

About the Evercreech Forest Reserve

evercreech Forest is more recognized as a state reserve than as a national park. When we said that, we thought that it could keep up with some of the state's best national parks!

The area is surrounded by dense bushland and damp forests along the upper reaches of the South Esk River. As far as the eye can see, there are fern trees and high, white eucalyptus trees. It's really a spectacular place.

Being a state reserve means that Evercroech is protected by the state of Tasmania. However, you can continue to bring pets and make fire on the campsites. It is also a free campsite, which means that you can enjoy all of this for free overnight!

The facilities include a large covered hut with tables and a fireplace, toilets and large, flat campsites with fireplaces (with metal grill plates).

Walderservat evercroech-where is that?

The forest is located near Mathinna in northeastern Tasmania, about 95 kilometers from Launceston or 37 kilometers from St. Helens.

How do you get to the evercreech forest reserve?

The street follows well -kept unpaved gravel roads, which are used extensively by wooden fellers in the region. We made the trip in our large motorhome, so most 2WDs shouldn't have a problem.

The best way to reach the site is to go to Mathinna and then drive east on the Mathinna Road (fortified). Next, turn left onto the unpaved EverCroech Road and drive on this 10 kilometers before reaching your destination.

Since we came from the Bay of Fires, we took a longer route, which included much more gravel road. From St. Helens we took the Argonaut Road, which followed Mt. Albert Road, and finally the last 10 kilometers to Evercroech. All of this was unsealed, but well maintained and not too much effort.

just look for wooden transporters!

Activities in Evercroech Forest

EverCroech falls loop

The EverCroech Falls loop is a picturesque forest walk along mostly flat forest floor. It starts at the other end of the campsite and follows a 3.5 km long bow (40 minutes) around the banks of the Evercroech River. A well -signposted junction leads to the Evercroech ifs.

The route is easily mastered by most. However, there is a section where you have to cross the river, which could prove to be difficult for some. As help there is a fixed line with which you can balanced when crossing the rocks.

Overall, the loop of Evercroech is very picturesque and shows the best of the natural beauty of the region. The river is lined with high fern trees and dense forest shrubs so that a great photo of almost every angle is framed.

TIP: Look for Tiger snakes and wear alligators when you have some. We saw two big ones who are in the middle of the Aalen route.

The arrival at EverCroech ifs is as if you are entering a hidden waterfall. The waterfall soon reveals itself and meanders down a steep, exposed slope before falling into a flat pelvis on the foot.

Evercroech if it may not be the most epic waterfall in Tasmania, but certainly a very prettier. The lavish forest grasses around the waterfalls create a scene that is worthy of a fairy tale.

Way of the White Knights

The "White Knights of Evercroech" refer to five of the largest White Gums or Manna Gums (Eucalyptus Viminalis). They are over 90 meters high and some of the thicker ones are over 300 years old. In a way, the knights are now guarding the EverCroech Forest Reserve, since their protected status meant that the area was spared from deforestation.
Alt = "white knights of evercroech">
This path is another circular route that meanders gently through the forest to the foot of the huge gums before clinging a small hill over it. This route is only about 1 kilometer long. However, the white colossi can be seen on the route after about five minutes.

Camping in the evercreech Forest Reserve

One of the best things you can do in the Evercroech Forest Reserve is perhaps to spend the night at the free campsite.

There are several flat campsites with fireplaces where you can open a tent. However, these lawns are cordoned off by vehicles to protect the moist, mossy soil. We decided to simply park our motorhome on one of the large gravel parking spaces next to the stream at the other end of the campsite, which was a great place.

To be honest, our stay was one of the greatest on our trip through Tasmania. It is very quiet here and there is no telephone reception. Neither during the day nor overnight we saw someone, we had the whole forest for ourselves!

well, not quite for us ...
The scary and yet liberating feeling of being alone with nothing other than the sounds of forest birds and flowing water made it possible for us to really solve us and simply enjoy one of the best hidden jewels of Tasmania.
