The Falls are an easy walk from the carpark. Once you’ve parked up, follow the track down to where you can see the falls. It’s very straightforward from there – just keep following this path until you get to some large rocks overlooking the falls themselves.
If you want to go further than just viewing them, there’s also a longer hike that will take you through the bushland (which offers excellent views of Trentham Falls).
The Falls are located in the Coliban River Scenic Reserve, which makes for great day-hiking opportunities if you’re interested in getting more out of your trip than just looking at waterfalls!
Trentham Falls is a short drive north of Trentham, about 100km from Melbourne. It is located on the edge of the Great Dividing Range, in Victoria’s Central Highlands.

Walk to Trentham Falls from Trentham
If you’re up for a hike, you may want to park your car in Trentham and walk the 3km each way from Trentham to Trentham Falls. Now unfortunately for large components of this walk, you will be walking on the side of the road as the this area doesn’t have footpaths.
Park near the Cosmopolitan Hotel and head on the High Street towards the Trentham Sports Ground Reserve. Follow the road and the High Street becomes the Falls Road, follow this all the way along the Trentham Golf Club. At the end you will hit the Trentham Falls Road, turn right here. Now be careful as this is a major thoroughfare in the area.
After about 5 minutes, you will see the entrance of the Trentham Falls Scenic Reserve on your left. After turning left, you will find the car park and entrance to the viewing platform at the end of the road.
