Rubicon Dam Walk
The 11.6km return Rubicon Dam Walk is an extension of the Rubicon Heritage Walk. Extend your walk by continuing past the power station to the Rubicon Dam. The track through the forest follows the aqueduct and is wide and relatively flat. You'll pass smaller wooden trestle bridges before arriving at the dam wall.
Enjoy a picnic at the picnic shelter at the dam and take photos of the cascading water and peaceful dam below. Return back along the same track to rejoin the heritage loop track at the power station.
The grade 3 walk has occasional steps, short steep hills, formed track and is sign posted. Bushwalking experience is recommended.
