Kinglake National Park

Kinglake National Park lies on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range, only an 80-minute drive from Melbourne. Enjoy scenic walks, thrilling mountain bike trails and picnics against the backdrop of panoramic views of the city, Port Phillip Bay, the Yarra Valley and across to the You Yangs.

Picnic grounds throughout the park include barbeque facilities, tables, shelters and toilets. Jehosaphat Gully picnic area has wheelchair-accessible toilets and free electric barbecues ready for the perfect gathering. Wander through tall eucalypt forest and lush gullies to two of Kinglake’s famous waterfalls, Wombelano and Mason Falls. The more challenging walks such as Mount Sugarloaf and Frank Thomas Reserve offer views of the Melbourne city skyline.

Spot the many birds and mammals who call the regenerating forest home. Go mountain biking at Bowden Spur. The diverse and technical downhill trail offers dirt jumps, rock gardens and large sections of off‐camber riding.

The Gums Camping area is nestled among tall eucalyptus forest and by a tranquil mountain stream. Camp or bring your caravan or camper for a comfortable stay.

Parks Victoria respects the deep and continuing connection that Taungurung and Wurundjeri Traditional Owners have to Kinglake National Park, and we recognise their ongoing role in caring for Country.
