Cumberland River - Cumberland Falls
This is one of the more beautiful river valleys in the Otways, with dramatic cliffs, and peaceful pools in which to cool off on a hot summer day.
It is an easy walk to Jebb's Pool but beyond that to Cumberland Falls there are numerous river crossings and some scrambling over rocks. There are several low river crossings on the Cumberland River that should not be attempted at high river levels which would be dangerous. The river crossings mean that the falls are only accessible during dry weather and there is a reasonable chance of getting your feet wet.
Jebb's Pool is a really nice place to swim and the cascades above the pool can be used as a natural waterslide.
Cumberland Falls is quite small (about 7m tall) but is pretty and you can swim here.
The walk to Cumberland Falls is 6km return and will take at least two hours walking. The starting point for the walk is Cumberland River Holiday Park. At the visitor car park there are picnic tables but no toilets.
