Comment "waterfalls" to get your FREE waterfall map with all the insider tips + more! 🌊 This is Wilson Creek Chasm, a secret waterfall on the side of a highway just 1hr from Wānaka. Here’s your guide to exploring Wilson Creek Chasm: 🥾 Trail: No official trail, but a short (slippery!) scramble down the bank and up a knee-deep stream gets you into the canyon. 🅿️ Access/Parking: Park just before the Wilson Creek bridge—there’s a gravel layby on the right heading west. 📏 Difficulty: Easy but adventurous—expect to get wet up to your knees depending on water levels. 🤫 Secret: The waterfall at the end marks the natural turnaround point, don’t go further with out an experienced canyoning guide! 👧👦 Family-friendly: Only for confident walkers or older kids—it’s slippery and there’s knee-deep water. 🦮 Dog-Friendly: No, this is located in Mt. Aspiring National Park. 🌞 Shade: Plenty in the chasm itself—sunlight barely filters through! 🚽 Facilities: None. Closest toilets are at nearby official DOC stops like the Blue Pools. 🗑️ Leave no trace: Take everything back out with you and avoid climbing fragile canyon walls. Let’s keep this wild wonder pristine 🌿 🙏 Follow @getlostwithliam for more hidden gems, trail tips, and outdoor inspiration! #connecttonature #waterfallwednesdays #nzplacestovisit #thingstodoinnz #bucketlisttravel
