About this attraction
17 Mile Falls amaze all who are lucky enough to see them. A hidden gem, the waterfalls can only be accessed by walkers on the Jatbula Trail. The trail is located in Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge) and is a one-way 62 kilometre walk from Nitmiluk Gorge to Leliyn / Edith Falls that takes between 4 to 5 days to complete.
17 Mile Falls campground is the third campground along the trail, popular with walkers for its serene and striking scenery. The falls run throughout the year, fed by a permanent water source with the sandstone plateau acting as a huge sponge that slowly releases water into rivers and creeks. Toilets and an Emergency Call Device (ECD) are located close to campsites.
This highly popular walk needs to be booked in Feburary and bookings are limited.
Walking and camping fees apply.
