Katoomba Falls Night Lit Walk

Description

Step into a whole new side of the Blue Mountains with the Katoomba Falls Night-Lit Walk — a magical 1.3km journey that reveals the landscape in a different light.

As the sun sets, an eco-friendly lighting system gently illuminates the escarpment, guiding you through fern-lined paths and past iconic landmarks including Orphan Rock, Witches Leap, Katoomba Cascades, and the majestic Katoomba Falls. On a clear night, you might even spot the Three Sisters glowing softly in the distance.

The walk starts at either the Katoomba Falls Kiosk car park or Katoomba Cascades car park, winding through Reid’s Plateau to the stunning Duke and Duchess Lookout.

Lighting Schedule:

-Lights switch on at dusk

-Floodlights switch off at 10:30pm

-Pathway lights dim at 11:00pm

Keep your eyes peeled for owls, possum sightings, and even microbats flitting in front of the falls — a reminder that the bush comes alive at night.

This is one of the few free, family-friendly after-dark experiences in the region — perfect for nature-lovers, stargazers and night owls alike.
