Lerderderg State Park comprises 14,250 hectares and stretches some 20 kilometres between Bacchus Marsh and Blackwood. Rising in the Great Dividing Range, the Lerderderg River has cut a 300 metre deep gorge through sandstone and slate, almost bisecting the park. The park has a wide variety of vegetation and wildlife and some interesting relics of goldmining. Things to Do - Lerderderg State Park offers a true bush experience. Walking is the best way to get to know the park - there are several tracks for a range of walks from short, easy strolls to strenuous overnight hikes for experienced bushwalkers.
- Other activities include camping, swimming, rock-climbing, fishing and scenic driving, although some tracks may be closed in winter and early spring.
- The river is popular with anglers. Blackfish and Brown Trout are the most commonly caught fish.
Camping is allowed at O'Brien's Crossing and elsewhere, although there are no facilities. For the latest information on track closures and park access, please see the Parks Victoria website. Be bushfire smart. Follow the Parks Victoria checklist before travelling. |
