Valley of the Waters lookout in Wentworth Falls is a fabulous spot for family and friends wanting to marvel at the spectacular landscape, a walk or lunch with a view. With plenty of active options and wheelchair-accessible facilities, it's a no-fuss day trip for all to love.
From the lookout you can explore waterfalls and walking tracks along the cliff line or walk down into the Jamison Valley. The area is the main access point for the popular Empress Canyon.
You might catch a glimpse of a lyrebird as you take in the view to Mountain Solitary from the viewing area. If you're feeling energetic, there's the heart-pumping tracks down into the valley. However, if a leisurely stroll is more your style, walk along the cliff top to Wentworth Falls lookout for sensational waterfall views.
