Earland Falls
Earland Falls
Earland Falls is a 174-metre waterfall on the Routeburn Track in Fiordland National Park, one of New Zealand's Great Walks.
Fed by Lake Roberts, the falls plunge dramatically close to the trail — so close that hikers can feel the spray, and during periods of high rainfall the area can flood, requiring a detour to a downstream bridge.
The falls sit roughly halfway between Lake Howden Hut and Lake Mackenzie Hut, accessible via a 7. 5-kilometre return walk from The Divide carpark, located approximately 85 kilometres along Milford Road from Te Anau.
Clearings along the approach offer sweeping views across the Hollyford Valley.
