Lilydale Falls

Lilydale Falls is a small reserve featuring two waterfalls located near the village of Lilydale, about 30 kilometres northeast of Launceston in northern Tasmania. Set within wet eucalypt forest, the falls are accessed via short walking tracks from a picnic area on Lalla Road. The site is managed as a public reserve and is notable for its accessible forest walks, fern-lined cascades and family-friendly picnic facilities close to Launceston.

Visitors can expect a compact bush reserve with a car park and picnic area leading to two waterfalls via short walking tracks. The first falls is a short 5-minute walk on a relatively flat track, while the second falls is further uphill via a steeper track with steps. The setting is dense eucalypt forest with ferns, moss-covered rocks and small cascades. Facilities include picnic tables, barbecues and toilets near the car park. The area is for short walks, sightseeing and photography.

The Lilydale area was settled in the late 19th century for timber milling and agriculture. The falls and surrounding bushland were later reserved for public recreation and are now managed by the City of Launceston as a recreation reserve for conservation and visitor use.
