Bridge Creek - Back Creek Falls (Mount Samaria State Park)
Set in tall, shady eucalypt forest, Mount Samaria State Park offers a cool and quiet retreat for beautiful walks, camping and picnicking. The Mount Samaria range incorporates a variety of scenery with spectacular vistas over the Victorian Alps, granite outcrops, high waterfalls and historic remains.
Back Creek Falls is a gently cascading waterfall, accessible from the start of the Wileman Track off Mt Samaria Road. Start at the Back Creek Falls Carpark on the Mount Samaria Road and follow the Wileman Track. It is a 3.0km return walk to the falls. See the following map to get your orientation in the park.
