Lila falls are the first named set of falls that you will see as you descend down fedral Pass through Fern Bower at Leura. They are on your right as you come down some stairs and cross a small bridge, this location matches the 1894 Railways Guide to the Blue Mountains, further down you will descend a lot of stairs and again, cross a bridge with a rather uninspiring soak/fall on your right, a sign on that bridge proclaims them to be Lila Falls, the sign is wrong.

The falls may have been named after Lilla North whose father John North was the chairman of the Progress comittee and a trustee for Katoomba and Leura reserves.
