Waterfall and hiking guide for Halls Falls Tasmania. Enjoy a simple but picturesque hike for this multi -stage waterfall on the Groom River.

Halls Falls is a number of several cascading waterfalls on the Groom River near Pyengana. This short waterfall tour offers several viewpoints on the cascades as well as an area with a rock pool and a historical weir from the 19th century.

We visit this waterfall after heavy rainfall. As a result, the photos in this blog show it in full force and you can flow so much during your visit.

Halls Falls-where is that?

As already mentioned, the hiking trail to the Halls Falls is near the village of Pyengana in northeastern Tasmania. This is about 22 kilometers from St. Helens or a little more than 145 kilometers from Launceston.

How do you get to the Halls Falls?

To get to Halls Falls Trailhead, you have to drive towards Pyengana on the Tasman Highway (A3). You will find the parking lot of the waterfall about 1.2 km away on an unpaved road known as an Anchor Road. This road is located on the corner of a small curve and can be easily overlooked. However, there are signs that show the way to the waterfalls.

The unpaved road (Anchor Road) is somewhat uneven, but it is only a short path to the parking lot at the starting point. Our big van made it there without any problems.

of the Halls Falls Circuit

Hiking route: 2.5 km back and forth
Duration: 1-1.5 hours
difficulty: Simple

The Halls Falls Circuit is a relatively short and simple walk on a wide, well -graded dirt road. The route is mostly a back and forth, but they have the opportunity to take a loop back to the parking lot, for example, halfway to the waterfalls.

The flora here is a little drier than with the nearby St Columba Falls. Along the route there is a good mix of Australian eucalyptus trees and moderate rainforest myrt and large man ferns.

Apart from the main waterfall, there are a few highlights on the way that are worth a visit.

Halls Falls Tasmania-Waterfall Out Viewpoint

Less than one kilometer after the hike begins you can reach the main viewpoint of the waterfall. To be honest, I was a little disappointed from this viewpoint. This was due to the fact that it was a bit difficult to recognize the size due to the surrounding trees and shrubs.

Descent to the basis of the lowest level

Fortunately, there is a relatively steep but short way down to the "Rockpools" below. Here you can admire the lowest waterfall up close.

This place is marked on the map of Halls Falls as "Rock Pools". However, as you can see in the photos after heavy rain, we had no chance of swimming in these pools.

Top-Tier Falls

After taking some shots of the lower waterfall, we went back and on to the next waterfall at Halls Falls. This was really just a short, simple walk with just a small descent at the end to get to the waterfall.

The extent of the torrential rain that the area experienced became even clearer as soon as we made it here. We found trees and heavy tree trunks, which were blasted directly behind the waterfalls against the banks of the Groom River.

Wehr from the 19th century

The last attraction on the hike to the Halls Falls is the 19th century weir. This hand created by human -made cascade and the large pool area served my wooden fellers from the 19th century to control the water level of the Groom River.

After we stopped briefly, we found that there was another way that continued behind the weir and was not mentioned on the map of the Tasmania Parks. We followed him about a kilometer and finally landed upstream.

Here the water flow was much calmer and the orange shores were lined with beautiful, highly towering ferns. Although it may not be an official attraction, I recommend looking at it if you want to go a little further.
