National and state parks in Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges

Waterfall, Macedon Ranges

Witness natural wonders like nothing you've seen before in Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges' national and state parks. From rugged river gorges to dramatic rock formations and stunning panoramic views, the region has the natural attractions to rival the man-made delights.

Whether you walk, climb, cycle, ride or drive, you'll find wonders packed into designated park areas. Hepburn Regional Park features Tipperary Walking Track, the Blowhole (a diversion tunnel on Sailors Creek created by gold miners) and the volcanic Mount Franklin. Macedon Regional Park boasts stunning views, historic monuments and imposing homes and gardens. Wombat State Forest is home to the state’s highest single drop waterfall – Trentham Falls, as well as an abundance of natural mineral springs and rock formations. The Lerderderg State Park features a 300-metre gorge, split by the Lerderderg River, and Organ Pipes National Park is named after its iconic set of basalt columns.
