Preston Falls, also Known as Delaney Falls, is a tall and slender 25m high waterfall which plunges over an alcove into the shady depths of the gorge. It is a short walk down steps to the overlooking platform. Due to the terrain, visibility of the waterfalls can only be seen from the side, from the top of the gorge. For a waterfall of this size, it was also one of the easiest waterfalls to visit in Tasmania. From the car park, the falls are at the end of a short 120 metre track through a pretty blackwood forest.

The land surrounding the waterfalls was owned by a gentleman by the name of William Delaney. The Ulverstone Progress Society from 1905 onwards negotiated with Mr Delaney on ensuring the the falls were kept in its natural state, of which Mr Delaney agreed to. The waterfall was registered with the Nomenclature Board as Delaney Falls (the date of this is unclear), but the waterfall is currently signed as 'Preston Falls'.
