Located in the stunning Rubicon Valley Historic Area, 2.5 hours drive north east of Melbourne, the Rubicon Falls walk starts at the Rubicon Hydro Power Station.
On the right of the power station, follow the Rubicon River Road (service access track only) for approximately 3.7 kilometre upwards through the steep sided valley which follows the river and passes Rubicon Falls Power Station on your right.
The 40 metre high Rubicon Falls comes into view as you climb higher up the road and viewing is restricted to the elevated roadside due to the harsh inaccessible terrain. Nevertheless it's definitely worth the hike.
You can continue up the road even further to Rubicon Falls Dam or combine it into a longer walk and do the circuit to Royston Power Station and the 15,000 ft Siphon Bridge.
Beautiful falls but road as per google maps was closed. Iād suggest speaking to some of the people in town for an alternative place to go for a swim. Had a few suggestions after we had left and headed back into town.
Took a very sketchy dirt road down and had a wonderful walk to see the falls which are stunning!

I enjoyed there.
An incredible and lovely location. The water was warm, and the view was extremely peaceful and relaxing.

Currently a 3.5k uphill hire from the power station but the walk is picturesque and runs alongside the river. You can't get to the bottom of the falls and the view from the path is slightly obscured, but the flow of water is worth the walk.

Rubicon Falls are beautiful, and well worth the walk to get there (walking access only).
The road which starts near the Rubicon Power Station is quite rough - it's about a 3.5-4 km walk, but there are some nice views of the Rubicon River along the way.
There is no access to the top or bottom of the falls, just a view from the road, but you can see the entire drop of the falls, so they are impressive. The falls are about 40 metres high.

A magical part of Victoria. Its and easy walk, slightly up hill, to a beatiful waterfall that most people never see. Do take some water there is no real access to the river on the way up. Allow at least 1.5 hours to walk up and back.
It is quite disturbing to see the infestation of scotch thisle on the track - it would be good to see that some work was done to deal with these noxious weeds!
