Mt Damper Falls
Mt Damper Falls is a towering 74m waterfall found in a spur detour off the Forgotten World Highway. Its relatively remote location puts it off the beaten track. Thus, it rewards the adventurous waterfall lover with a quiet and peaceful experience. There have been some claims in the literature about this waterfall being the tallest in the North Island. I don't think this is true because Wairere Falls is much taller than this. However, it is definitely one of the taller and more memorable waterfalls on the North Island and is certainly worth the time and effort to get here. Look for an ephemeral waterfall (pictured below) in an adjacent drainage as you make your way down the stairs to the overlook platform for the main waterfall.
