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.

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…

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!

Description
Dights Falls is a rapid and weir on the Yarra River in Melbourne, Victoria, just downstream of the junction with the Merri Creek. At this point the river narrows and is constricted between 800,000-year-old volcanic, basaltic lava flow and a much older steep, silurian, sedimentary spur.
