Here’s your guide to exploring Mt. Damper Falls:

🥾 Trail: An easy 30 minute return walk through farmland and down some steps to the viewing platform.

🅿️ Access/Parking: Free parking is available at the trailhead.

📏 Difficulty: Easy.

🤫 Secret: If you follow the unofficial path to the right just before the second viewing platform, you will find ANOTHER waterfall (this one dries up more easily though).

👧👦 Family-friendly: Yes.

🦮 Dog-Friendly: Must obtain permit from local DoC office and have up-to-date avian avoidance training.

🌞 Shade: The second half of the trail is through shaded native bush.

🚽 Facilities: Available at the trailhead.

🗑️ Leave no trace: Preserve this beautiful spot by taking your rubbish with you and staying on marked trails.
