Albert River Rd, Madalya VIC 3971
road to Minnehaha Falls
A rocky waterfall enclosed in a deep valley west of Yarram, remote but still within a few steps from the road and your campsite, Minnehaha Falls surprised and delighted. Despite being only a relatively small river, in winter/spring there was a loud and powerful flow of water gushing down the near vertical rock face, into the pool below.
Directly in front of the falls there is a lawn area where you can bring a picnic blanket for an uninterrupted view of the falls from across the waterfall pool. Lay down and relax to the sounds of the rushing water. From the carpark adjacent to the falls you can also walk up a little track, past the water tank, and down the other side to the top of the falls. Here you can perch yourself on the rocks overlooking the water as it drops down over the rock face.
Downstream of the falls on the floodplain next to the Albert River, you will find the campground with unpowered sites. I could hear the falls clearly from these campsites when the river was running well. The campsites are on relatively flat, open ground with a grassy covering, and come with their own fire pits and communal toilets.
Overall, this is one of my favorite waterfalls in the Strzeleckis because of its ease of access, great viewing with unfettered access, and the nearby campground
