Guide Falls

Guide Falls


Guide Falls is Ridgley's premiere attraction. With its two-tiered wall of water, it's one of the more impressive Tasmanian waterfalls and is certainly worth a visit if you're in the Burnie area or anywhere in the vicinity of the north west of the state. This waterfall is quite popular with locals and tourists alike and the infrastructure built here (e.g. big car park, picnic area, developed track and lookouts) is indicative of its popularity.

You can see the falls from various angles at its top and its base. In fact, there were wildflowers blooming at the base of the falls. There is also a smaller cascade further downstream. Moreover, there's a longer walking track from a different car park that follows the watercourse downstream from the falls as well as an Alpaca Park nearby if you'd like to prolong your stay.
