Location and features
The Little Rubicon River rises from the Great Dividing Range below the Blue Range east of the Cathedral Ranges State Park, and flows southeast, fueled by runoff from the Blue and Cerberean Ranges before reaching its confluence with the Rubicon River in a remote state forestry area, southwest of the town of Rubicon.
