Waterfall Gully

Waterfall Gully is a suburb and natural reserve located in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges, about 8 kilometres east of Adelaide in the City of Burnside, South Australia. Centred on Waterfall Gully Reserve and First Falls within Cleland National Park, it is notable for its cascading waterfall, historic weir and popular bushwalking trails, including the steep hike to Mount Lofty Summit, making it one of Adelaide's most visited natural attractions.

Visitors can expect a bushland reserve at the base of the Adelaide Hills with a car park, lawns and picnic areas, a cafe/kiosk (Utopia Waterfall Gully), and well-marked walking trails. The main attraction is First Falls, a cascade waterfall viewed from a base lookout and upper trails, surrounded by eucalypt forest. The area is a trailhead for the Waterfall Gully to Mount Lofty Summit hike with steep steps and forested slopes, offering nature viewing and photography opportunities.
