Valley of the Waters

Valley of the Waters is a steep, rainforest-filled valley on the southern escarpment of the Blue Mountains National Park at Wentworth Falls, New South Wales. Accessed via the Valley of the Waters Track from Conservation Hut, it is notable for its concentration of waterfalls including Empress, Sylvia and Lodore Falls, historic walking tracks such as National Pass, and lush hanging swamps and eucalypt forest within the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

Visitors can expect a deep, sheltered valley with temperate rainforest, hanging swamps and a series of waterfalls accessed by steep walking tracks with many steps. The main Valley of the Waters Track descends from Conservation Hut past lookouts and cascades to Empress, Sylvia and Lodore Falls, connecting to National Pass and Wentworth Falls tracks. Surroundings include sandstone cliffs, dense eucalypt forest, fern gullies and valley views. There are no shops in the valley itself; facilities are at the Conservation Hut precinct at the top.
