Annandale Falls are the tallest amongst the Wentworth Valley region of waterfalls, and are one of the more accessible. Wintertime visits will require parking off HWY246 and hiking the full 1 km into the falls.

I went to these falls on June 16th. The description that these falls are one of the more accessible is not correct. The descent to these falls is quite perilous in fact.
ReplyDeleteWas just here this weekend on the sleds, so easy to get to in winter. Beautiful
