what makes Falls Creek such an unique holiday destination. You

With Rocky Valley Lake you have the perfect spot to cool off during
a summer scorcher. The water is cool, clean and has a safe shore
for swimming and paddling.
Boating Don’t leave the boat at home – Rocky Valley is ideal for
many kinds of recreational watercraft. Whether it’s a sailboat,
kayak, canoe or tinnie, the crystal blue waters are simply perfect
to cut the surface on a sunny day. There are also several boat
ramps for easy launching.
Fishing The High Country is renowned for its excellent fishing and
Falls Creek is no exception. There have always been strong numbers
of brown and rainbow trout in our Lake. A new additional prized
catch will soon be on offer with recent introduction of Chinook
salmon to the region. Try your hand at fly fishing on the banks or
find a spot to drop a line out deep. It doesn’t get any better than
this.
High in the Victorian Alps you wouldn’t expect sailing, kayaking or
paddle boarding. We say it’s our unique point of difference.
