Description

Added by Alex May

Brandywine Falls is a 100m tall waterfall that gushes off the mountain to the lake below. A short walk to the look-out and you will be blown away by breathtaking views of the local surroundings and the waterfall itself. Venture far enough and you might make it to the bottom of the falls.

A hazy day down the Brandywine trail, a short walk (1.5km) and you've made it to the look-out. You'll be met with a brisk of fresh air and a breath-taking view of the gorge below, the waterfall gushing of the mountain. Another half an hour and you can scale down the side of the mountain if you know the spot and hike through thick wilderness to the bottom of the falls. Once there, you'll be met with intense energy from the falls and a lot of wind too, so wear your Goretex gear. An amazing spot for the daring adventurer.
