Hogarth Falls

Hogarth Falls is a small rainforest waterfall located in Peoples Park on the edge of Strahan on Tasmania's west coast. Accessed via a short, well-formed walking track through temperate rainforest, the falls cascade over moss-covered rocks into a shallow pool. Notable for its easy accessibility from Strahan, platypus viewing opportunities at dawn and dusk, and tranquil forest setting, it is a popular short walk for visitors exploring the West Coast region.

Visitors can expect a short, easy rainforest walk from the Peoples Park car park to a small cascade waterfall set in temperate rainforest. The well-maintained track passes through myrtle, sassafras and fern gullies with interpretive signs, leading to a viewing platform overlooking the falls and pool. The area is quiet and shaded, with opportunities for photography, birdwatching and platypus spotting in the creek at dawn or dusk. No swimming facilities are provided.

Peoples Park, which contains Hogarth Falls, has served as a public recreation reserve for the Strahan community since the early 20th century, with the walking track developed to provide public access to the west coast temperate rainforest and waterfall.

Peoples Park and Hogarth Falls are valued as a local recreation area and natural attraction that showcases the temperate rainforest environment of Tasmania's West Coast for residents and visitors.
