Rockpools is a Parks Victoria picnic area in Victoria’s High Country, 2.0 km E of Mount Beauty.
A popular swimming spot for the Mount Beauty community since the 1950s. The site used to host school events and even had a diving board. Remnants of the diving board can be seen today, however the river has since shallowed. A great site to cool off in the pools and rapids, fish for trout or picnic on the shores.
