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…

Type in Dight Falls carpark if driving here

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!

Daughter and dad out for a walk. Went back here for the first time in a while. Thanks to Parks Vic for all the upgrade work since the last visit. Easy to walk around and the signs were really informative. Liked being able to walk to the edge of the falls and also see some of the old flour mill ruins. Thanks for keeping them! Really enjoying the peace and quiet and being able to get a close to nature feel so close to suburbia. Thanks again Parks Vic!

Awesome place to visit so many great walks no matter which way you go it's a dog walkers paradise lots of parking very well maintained always a pleasure love visiting

Dight falls where Merri creek and the Yarra meet up! I’m lucky enough to be a regular around this area. Main capital trial provides raw and natural views mixed in with the sounds and sights of nature. There’s a wonderful seated area to soak in the peacefulness and also a platformed area to get closer to the falls. It’s a great spot to just chill out, breath and it’s very close to the city!!! Winning

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.

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.

Looking across Dights Falls (silly name) from where the Merri spills into the Yarra, you can see why this is a special place in the traditions and lives of the Wurrundjeri people. Both sides of the river should be explored. And maybe the overlooked Galatea point should be the place to wander into first, just near the Studley park boathouse

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.

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!

It's an excellent attraction in Yarra Bend Park, and again, it's so close to the suburb. Perfect viewing platform with easy walk/bike access. The sign gave a bit of historical knowledge. The fall is more like a small dam, but the water is still relatively fast and roaring. Feel very relaxing watching for a while.

I may be biased because I live very close, but Dights Falls (like much of the rest of the Yarra) is a beautiful place in inner Melbourne. I prefer the quieter south side of the river at the falls, although all the facilities are on the north side, and there's no bridge across the river here.

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.

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.

“Dight’s Falls” is Located in Victoria Park (Clifton Hill) * Also, is known as a Local Discreet Cruise area for Gay Community Melbourne… (Hours Vary to Early Morning 1-4 A.M) And Non Open to General community… So use your Head & Don’t get Caught

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

A historical area of spiritual and cultural significance to the original inhabitants which have been carefully preserved and acknowledged with lovely wall murals. There is a fish 'ladder' as well which is worth checking out.

A nice part of the river. Lots of parkland, walking and riding paths. You can ride from the city - mostly along the river. Also ride along Merri creek which connects with the old inner circle railway loop bike path

As a long distance skater i find this to be the pinicle of melbourne with the capital city trail , the merri creek trail , moonee ponds trail , the main yarra trail also close by. And ok for inlines or quad skates.

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

Great Falls in the city of Melbourne worth visiting especially after heavy rain .Plenty of paths and grassy areas to relax in. Most paths are concreted .Very family friendly park and dalls

A lovely view and walking area.

Another pleasant place to walk my dogs, located on the junction of Merri Creek and the Yarra River. Great bike tracks and jogging tracks all way into the city.

10/10 would recommend the Emo milk

It was bigger than I thought it would be. Easy access. We're with people with disabilities and had no problems getting to the falls. Well worth seeing.

Beautiful place to go for a picnic, would recommend walking back to the road via the right pathway - very cool geologic formations on the way back.

On this day plenty of water rushing over the Weir. This provides rough river conditions which are used by canoeists to practice their skills.

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.

Nice walk with comfortable trails. Can cycle or just take a walk. Also a nice place to have a picnic. Accessible by car or bus 200 or 207.

Beautiful scenery with plenty of space to lay a blanket down when the weather permits & just relax or anything else you might enjoy doing.

I beautiful place (as far as waterfalls in Melbourne go), hopefully all the construction and restoration will be done one of these years.

Lovely, safe walk up the river. When water levels are low this waterfall can be small, but after rain it's nice to stand and watch awhile

Beautiful area, loved reading the information about the history of the area and the importance it holds for the aboriginal communities.

Aboriginal Sacred Site! - 2 rivers meet allowing easy crossing/ ect. Story Artwork Walking tracks by the river

The most easy walk (just 4km returns )for 30mins with beautiful view n i set next to the falls for half hours ,was so relaxing.

Nice after some rain. Flowing water and great viewing platform to get close to the weir. Great place to stop mid walk or cycle.

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!

Great place to.relax. Have two trails to the fall. One is on.the slop and the other is flat along the river. Both good.

A gem tucked away in a corner of the city. There are many trails to explore and the scenery is just amazing …

Amazing place with picturesque views. A wonderful getaway. Find inner peace and solace besides the Dights Falls.

Best viewed after a decent down pour, and the water gushes over the wall and down through the rocky outcrops.

Allways have a great time there. Good views, facilities and trails. Links up with other parks and paths.

It was so interesting to learn about the significance and importance of Dights Falls on Wurundjeri land.

Exciting today due to flooding. Most days it's a lovely walk and you can walk up to Farm Gate Cafe too.

It's ok if you're passing by to have a look at, but to me it's not really so much of a destination.

The falls are not much to see, but a very pleasant walk around the city on the Capital City Trail.

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

The falls aren't open, for anyone wanting to go. The path to them is closed indefinitely

very easy walk to the fall. Excellent place for picnics and just listening to the fall.

Good little falls area. Very pretty. Easy to walk to from the nearby railway station.

Serene atmosphere and sound of the falls make it a great space for some peaceful time

Beautiful walk . The sound of the water fall is very fulfilling . Lovely experience .

A hidden gem for hiking!! The falls is very peaceful. Easy to find a parking spot.

A lot of water passing over the Falls and local kyakers are making the most of it

River is running fast, white water kayaking practice was interesting to watch

Thank you for accommodating a group of 10 people. New favorite place in town!

Each visit around this great location can reveal a different ‘story’ …

Great place for a walk. You get to meet a lot of dogs if thats your thing.

One of the nicest inner suburb walk, plenty of cafes around after the walk

Good walk with good natural scenery. Easy to reach by public transport.

Stunning location and essentially right in the city. No excuses really.

Lovely, peaceful & interesting walk alonside river. Shade available.

A nice point of interest on the capital city trail, but not amazing.

Nice place for walking, hangout and picnic with family and friends.

Short walk from the CBD. Perfect ambiance to quickly ease the mind.

A lovely urban walk and such a sensational place for dog walks!!

Nice space to explore and good variety of trails to choose from

I was there on a Sunday night doing a scene for a music video!!

Nice place visit and relax while watching the Yarra flow past

Melbourne's very own Niagara Falls, albeit in miniature form.

Interesting fish ladder underneath plus a good place to relax

Currently has construction so you can't enter. Don't bother.

Amazing little sight to show a special someone during sunset

River flooding. Lots of paddlers having a go. Not crowded.

Best whitewater in Melbourne. Great after a bit of rain.

Inner city trails that feel like you are in the country.

Small place, has public toilets, wheelchair accessible.

Nice quiet place for people Who like to have some walk

Great place to kick back and relax and good for photos

Easy parking and access to a pretty spot on the Yarra.

Mostly wet. Nice walk along the river, beware the bugs

Very relaxing atmosphere next to beautiful bike trail

The waterfall was very small and lacked “wow” factor

Lovely place. Deadly if you don't take care though.

Safe place to view the flooded river…. October 2022

I went here to fly drones. Was flowing great today.

Interesting place nestled in the heart of Melbourne

Tranquil and beautiful with good walking trails.

Beautiful place for a peaceful walk or bike ride
