Dights Falls

Tourist attraction β€’ Hiking area β€’ Weir

πŸ‘πŸ‘ The falls itself was under maintenance when we visited but if you keep walking through the boathouse route, there’s a great spot to sit and chill just next to the water! Very relaxing. Great place to bring dogs too! People often mention falls, walk, walking, Falls, parking, nice, area, picnic,

    I like to pretend I'm not in Melbourne and out in real Straya. This spot is great for dogs and friends. All in all a top time!

    It is a nice area to picnic, relax, walk or explore around the trail. Limited car parking but free and can park for up to 4 hours. Public toilets nearby also. Tranquil and scenic.

    Beautiful sacred Wurundjeri site. Currently the walkway grating is fenced off. Type in Dight Falls carpark if driving here, plenty of parking available and public toilets. The falls are about a 100m walk down - go left downhill, then follow the track to the right past the drinking fountain and shaded picnic bench. Sit, take a few deep breathes and enjoy…

    Slightly rapid river, turns into a bit of a flood plain, okay to look at.

    Walked up Merri Merri Creek from the falls up to Heidelberg Road, crossed over the creek and back to the falls. Easy walk on a good path, you can access bush tracks as well. Delightful spaces and vistas. Small carpark at Dights Falls offering 4 hours but street parking is available within walking distance, most likely limited times.

    Nice small waterfalls in the capital city trail... Some part is blocked because of repairs.

    Someone from work told me that this was the most beautiful waterfall in Melbourne so you can only imagine my surprise when I arrived and could not find a waterfall anywhere, only a waterstep. I did however quite enjoy the walking track but still fuming at my coworker.

    Dights Falls are a nice little falls in the Yarra River. Easily accessed via public Transport (you can easily walk here from Victoria Park Railway Station). Due to the large amount of rainfall we have had in Melbourne in the last few months, the water level is very high, and the lower part of the trail was closed off to pedestrians. There are toilets 🚻 at the Dights Falls Carpark.

    One of my favorite place to visit during lockdowns. Was a hidden gem where we would come back on the odd occasion

    Small falls but nice for inner city

  • 5/5 Kerbray 2 years ago on Google
    Some relatively small falls with a viewing platform, just a short walk away from the carpark. Dogs are allowed on leash, but in the summer the metal platform gets very hot, and can burn their paws if they don't have shoes on. Lots of cyclists stop here, and there's several walking tracks connected to the falls. A pretty area, with some kayaking spots, picnic benches, BBQs and toilets nearby.

  • 5/5 Grace 8 months ago on Google
    Picturesque waterfalls framed by high, stoney cliffs and eucalyptus trees. There's a little car park which is usually not busy. On the viewing platform you can watch the actual falls and a bit further down the track you can sit by the river to birdwatch and have a picnic. Beware of snakes in the hotter months and don't swim!

    Great walking tracks bike riding tracks around Dight Falls. The Falls themselves are impressive but due to works being done we couldn't get as close to them as you normally would. Definitely visit if in the area

    It's a nice area for a walk. The main viewing platform is still fenced off, but you can still see the falls from the side. There's nowhere to sit and picnic such that you could have it in the background though. Free parking available with toilets also available at the parking space. Water was pretty brown when visited. Pretty lush greeneries around considering the location, excellent preservations, credit to the councils and community!

    I always really enjoy walking along the main yarra trail and visiting Dights Falls. It's one of those places where culture past and present come together. Such a special place where our beloved Yarra River and Merri Ck join and such rich history for the traditional owners.

    What a lovely gem in the city! Awesome place to ride, run and lively goelogical rock formations

  • 4/5 Fairly M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very crowded on any sunny covid day. Full of walkers, dogs, cyclists and kids. But still a very pretty sight and you can catch kayakers too.
