Redwater Creek Falls Tasmania – Waterfalls Guide

Redwater Creek Falls Tasmania – Waterfalls Guide

A quick guide to visiting Redwater Creek Falls near Sheffield, Tasmania. Find out how to get here, what to expect and see photos of the waterfalls and caves.

Redwater Creek Falls is a group of two little-visited waterfalls that flow on Redwater Creek between Railton and Sheffield. Visiting these seasonal waterfalls is a great thing to do after rain, especially if you're in Sheffield.

In this guide I will tell you everything you need to know about visiting these waterfalls and include some photos that I hope will inspire your visit.

How to get to Redwater Creek Falls?

To get to Redwater Creek, you should head to Stoodley Forest, about 3.8 miles from the Sheffield Visitor Center along Sheffield Road. I have set the exact location for a large parking lot near the pine forest where you can access the wide hiking trail to the falls.

The hike to the falls follows a section of the Tasmanian Trail. About 1 kilometer up the track you will reach a wire gate on the right with a sign that says “Waterfall”.

Open this gate and you will find yourself at the base of the main waterfall on Redwater Creek. The second waterfall is a little further downstream, but is smaller.

Redwater Creek Caves

If you cross the river above the first main stage of the waterfall, you can follow the path to some small unnamed caves. A wooden ladder is attached to the rock wall. Although they are not huge caves, they are cool to explore and photograph. Unfortunately my camera died on this trip, but I managed to take a few photos for you with my phone.
