The Roaring Billy Falls are signposted and have a large parking area about halfway between Haast Pass and Jackson Bay Oakahu. This section of the road follows the Haast River, and the easy waterfall track provides direct access to the river and a view of the falls on the opposite side. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk through a beautiful section of native forest to the riverbed.
The falls are visible from the platform at the end of the track. The platform overlooks a wide expanse of river gravel and the stunning aqua blue of the river channel below the forest and waterfall. The view of the falls is somewhat distant but spectacular, with a 30-metre drop. You can walk across the river gravel right up to the river but it is wide, deep and quite fast, so this is as close as you will get without a boat.
