Devils Punchbowl Waterfall is a waterfall in Arthur's Pass National Park, reached by the Devils Punchbowl Walking Track. The track climbs through native beech forest, crosses the Bealey River and Devils Punchbowl Creek by footbridge, and ends at a viewing platform near the base of the falls. The falls flow year-round and are most spectacular in spring. Dogs are not allowed, and other pets follow conservation land rules.
The walk takes about half an hour up, with many stairs and steep sections, and visitors say the stairs and paths are well maintained. The first five minutes are flat and reach footbridges with a view of the falls, and there are benches there. The walk is free and no booking is needed. The car park is off State Highway 73 at the northern end of Arthur's Pass Village. Toilets are at the visitor centre, five minutes by car, and there is no drinking water on the track. Our pick in Arthur's Pass for a waterfall walk through beech forest.
