McLean Falls

Nestled in the Catlins Conservation Park, which spans Otago and Southland, McLean Falls cascades 72 feet (22 meters) down the Tautuku River. The falls are enveloped by a lush, damp New Zealand bush, with the path leading to them winding through a podocarp forest dotted with flowering fuchsia trees. Despite being categorized as an easy walk, some sections of the trail are uphill, adding a slight challenge. Visitors can enjoy the serene beauty of the falls and the surrounding native flora, making it a rewarding destination for nature enthusiasts.
