Fortescue Falls

Fortescue Falls is a permanent waterfall in Dales Gorge within Karijini National Park in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, in the Shire of Ashburton. Fed by the Fortescue River, it cascades into a large, spring-fed pool surrounded by terraced rock walls and native vegetation. It is one of the park's few year-round waterfalls and a central feature of the Dales Gorge trail system, known for swimming, scenic lookouts and accessible gorge walks.

Visitors can expect a stepped waterfall cascading into a large permanent pool at the base of Dales Gorge, surrounded by banded iron-formation cliffs, terraces and paperbark trees. Access is via a short steep trail with steps from the Dales Gorge car park to a lookout and then to the pool level. The area offers swimming in the pool at the base of the falls, photography from the lookout and gorge rim, and connection to walking trails linking Fern Pool and Circular Pool through Dales Gorge.
