Keppel Falls Lookout

Keppel Falls near Marysville is a long set of cascades tumbling down the mountainside in the headwaters of the Taggerty River. To take in the full length of the falls, drive past the start of the Keppel Falls walking track and continue about 800 metres further along Lady Talbot Drive. From the roadside lookout, you can see the white water running down the mountain on the other side of the valley.

Because the falls are so large, the roadside viewpoint is one of the best ways to appreciate their scale before continuing on with your walk. If you have binoculars or a camera with a longer lens, this is a great place to bring them.
