Cumberland Falls
Cumberland Falls
Cumberland Falls is a small but pretty waterfall located within the Great Otway National Park, roughly 7 km south-west of Lorne, Victoria, and about 150 km from Melbourne.
It sits along the Cumberland River and is reached via a walking track that begins near the Cumberland River Holiday Park on the Great Ocean Road.
The track passes through forest and involves multiple river crossings, with stepping stones typically keeping feet dry. Along the way, walkers pass Jebb's Pool before arriving at the falls, which offer a rewarding spot to rest and swim.
Wildlife, including various bird species and lizards, is commonly spotted on the route. The falls are managed by Parks Victoria and are part of the Great Otway National Park.
There are no facilities at the falls themselves, though picnic tables are available at the visitor car park. Dogs are not permitted on the track.
