Wangi Falls
Litchfield's most famous twin waterfalls. In the dry season you can swim in the large pool below, and a monsoon forest trail runs nearby.
Wangi Falls is the emblem of Litchfield National Park. Twin waterfalls drop from sandstone cliffs into a wide, deep pool. During the dry season, swimming is allowed after rangers confirm there are no saltwater crocodiles, while the area is closed during the wet season when water levels rise sharply. A loop trail of about 1.6 km winds through monsoon rainforest and leads to a lookout at the top of the falls. The car park has a café, picnic areas and a campground. It is about 1.5 to 2 hours' drive from Darwin, and it gets crowded in peak season, so arrive early.
