The town of Eildon is located on the Goulburn River on the southern shores of Lake Eildon and east of the larger town of Alexandra.

Eildon is a particularly scenic spot, surrounded by the Lake Eildon National Park and mountains covered in thick forests, making it a peaceful holiday location. The town's commercial centre is set one street back from the Goulburn River and is built around a central garden and car park.

Riverside Drive, which extends along the grassy northern banks of the Goulburn River from the town centre is a popular spot for picnics, BBQs and fishing off the jetties. On the other side of the river, along the Goulburn Valley Highway approaching Eildon, are a number of other picnic grounds and fishing spots.

Lake Eildon is one of the largest artificial lakes in Victoria, built for irrigation and electricity generation, and boasting over 500 kilometres of coastline. A drive along Embankment Road traverses the dam wall and offers good views across the lake and south-west towards the power station, pondage and town centre. At the lake's spillway is a lookout, attractive gardens, and visitors can walk along the bridge structure over the spillway for views along the river. At Point Dethridge, at the entrance to the spillway, is a major boat ramp which is an activity hub with watercraft including jet skis, canoes, power boats and house boats.

A couple of attractions are well worth a visit to the east of the town centre, along Jerusalem Creek Road. Mount Pinninger rises to an elevation of 543 metres, and a lookout at the peak offers stunning views across the surrounding waterway. Further east along Jerusalem Creek Road is a harbour, boat ramps and a kiosk.

Other popular destinations around Lake Eildon include Bonnie Doon, at the lake's north-western extremity, and Mansfield to the north-east.
