Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Did the walk from Zumstiens, to Fish Falls and on to MacKenzie falls. All up a very easy 8klm round trip following the river with the best bits being able to climb around the base of MacKenzie, and all the different levels at Fish Falls. Step off the path half way up the ladders beside Fish Falls and you're basically in the middle of the falls (half way up, half way down) Was a nice hot day for us so jumped in for a swim around the base of the falls. Water comes from the bottom of Wartook so is cold, but super refreshing

After recommendations we decided to make the trek to Mackenzie Falls via the Fish Falls track and we were glad we did. The walk is about 7.5km return, fairly easy with some steps. You can swim at Fish Falls, on the way up and/or back down, nice and quiet with only a couple of other visitors. Mackenzie Falls were busy but great to see, no swimming here. You can also swim in the creek at the Fish Falls car park. Highly recommend this walk.

We decided to walk to McKenzie falls from Zumsteins. This an easy, fairly flat and well maintained path. Fish Falls are about half way, 1.7 km. They are a good introduction to the McKenzie Falls higher up the path. There are good opportunities for viewing the Falls and is a very convenient place to stop. Coming the other way from McKenzie involves descending many steps on the side of a steep gorge and would be very strenuous to have to do climb back up which is very steep and about 0.5 km from the bottom of the Falls to the car park.

This 7km return walk that would take you between 2 - 3 hours is a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon. Start at Zumsteins Picnic Area. This walk, suitable for energetic walkers can involve water crossings, slippery track surfaces, rock hopping and rock scrambling. Following the MacKenzie River upstream, this pleasant walk through deep gullies provides river views. This track eventually leads to the terraced base of Fish Falls. From here you can return to Zumsteins or follow the track to MacKenzie Falls. From here the track to the Falls becomes steeper, meandering through a large gorge beside the river to MacKenzie Falls. Return by same route.
Plenty of carparking at Zumsteins. Take plenty of water and snacks. Wear a hat if sunny. Not wheelchair friendly. Toilets at Zumsteins.

In my opinion, these falls are better than Mackenzie Falls, as you can walk up over them & the walk to them is also far more enjoyable. I made the approx 2.3km (one way) treck from Zumsteins Picnic Area (have a look at what's left of Zumsteins in the Historic area too, there is some wonderful information boards there to give you some history on the place) and found it to be easy walking. It's a rather narrow dirt track that takes you directly to the lower parts of the falls. From there, a mix of rock & metal steps (which will kick your heart rate up a notch or two) take you right up to the top. There aren't as many tourists here as there are at Mackenzie Falls, and there's also more space for a little time out on your own if you wish. I'd definitely say Fish Falls are a must see if you're exploring The Grampians.

If you access these falls from Zumstein's car park it is an easy, child-friendly walk to this beautiful multi-tiered waterfall. You could easily spend a few hours paddling, swimming, picnicking there or continue on the path to Mackenzie Falls which are grander, but not recommended for swimming as not particularly gentle.

Leaving Mackenzie falls and follow the river on a well maintained path. Great place to bring a little lunch or snack to eat on the flat rocks by the falls.

We walked here from the McKenzie falls, the trek from there is difficult at times. It is half way between there and Zumstiens. If you want to see these falls I would recommend you do it via the Zumstiens picnic area as the walk is easier from that way.

Fish falls accessible from either zumsteins carpark (20 min relatively easy walk) or from base of mckenzie fall (approx25 mins, mostly downhill). I love this walk, up there with my favourites in the grampians. Footballers can be seen training here at times, running down to base of falls and up to carpark again. I prefer to walk the distance from Mckenzie falls to fish falls and onto zumsteins carpark....find a sucker to collect you or be the sucker and walk back up the hill to Mckenzie falls carpark!
