Message from Rach Stewart

The Wilsons Creek Chasm is one of the most beautiful locations in the Haast area. Mossy green walls, a trickling waterfall, blue glacial water and towering walls of stone creating incredible canyon walls to marvel at as you walk through this wonderland.

The walk into the canyon isn't the easiest and although it is very short and only takes a couple of minutes, be prepared to get your feet and legs wet up to the knee at least. For safety don't attempt to visit this one after heavy rainfall and if you want to explore the canyon further past the 'photo spot' you would definitely need to hire a guide.

To find Wilsons Creek Chasm you will need to head to Fantail Falls in Haast Pass. Just before you reach the falls (if you're driving from Wanaka) there is a small bridge which has a pull over area just before it. This is where you can park your car, and then access to the canyon is by the bridge. You will need to climb down the rocks and cross over the small river to make your way into the chasm.
