Cumberland Falls
Cumberland Falls
Cumberland Falls is a two-cascade waterfall on the Cumberland River, located within the Great Otway National Park roughly seven kilometres south-west of Lorne, Victoria.
The falls drop approximately six to eight metres, flowing around a large mound of exposed rock into a circular pool where swimming is possible.
Reaching the falls requires a walking track that includes four river crossings, a passage past Jebb's Pool, and a final rough scramble over boulders and narrow sloping rock.
The last 250 metres to the falls is the most challenging section of the trail, becoming noticeably slippery in wet conditions. The route also passes an emerald green swimming pool with a small cascade before the terrain steepens toward the falls.
