Horseshoe Falls is a wide, stepped drop reached by a climb from Russell Falls, and Lady Barron Falls is a smaller cascade at the far end of the loop. The 6 km circuit starts behind the Mount Field visitor centre and links the falls through tall swamp gum forest. Expect lots of steps, and the long wooden staircase back to the start.

Good to know
