Anderson Cascades

Anderson Cascades is a series of waterfalls and cascades along the Roaring Burn River in Fiordland National Park, South Island, New Zealand.

It lies on the Milford Track, one of New Zealand's most celebrated Great Walks, on the descent from Mackinnon Pass toward the valley floor.

Hikers encounter the cascades on the third day of the track, as the trail drops from the pass and follows the Roaring Burn downhill. The river produces a succession of waterfalls, blue pools, and rushing cascades along this stretch.

A Department of Conservation shelter — Andersons Cascade Shelter — is located nearby, marking it as a notable waypoint on the route to Quintin Shelter and, ultimately, Sandfly Point.
