Warrandyte State Park

Great hiking spot. Signage needs an update. I got lost for a while, eventually found my way back to path.

Some idiot drivers while heading in. But otherwise nice clean area, very relaxing nap on the Riverside and kayak. Most people are considerate and maintain the relaxed calm vibes. Wish I'd brought snacks

Big park, ripe for exploring! Not too much shade so bring sun protection. Great to see nature thriving, even if Kookaburras keep laughing at you.

Nice hike with moderate challenge. Good for beginners who are used to longer walks. Some incline but not overwhelming.

peaceful tracks with plenty of nature life surroundings. Open space, but still enough shades for walking tracks.

On a personal mission to try to see as many reserves as possible. Really lovely place near the winding Yarra River. Serene bushwalks and great views. You can find nice secluded inlets along the river bank, which is handy if the muddy main entrance is not your thing. The water is bracing fresh, so it's ideal if you need to wake up or just need a hangover cure.

I'm quite amazed by the park's picturesque sights. Alongside the Yarra River, the walking trails were wonderful and filled with attractions. I also suggest this location for kayakers and fisherman.

My Lofty loop walk and can also do a shorter walk and go straight up the steep hill on your right as coming along the path. Can see rare birds, kangaroos, amazing views all around and Maroondah Valley. Definitely worth a visit for nature lovers and hikers.No public toilets or BBQ facilities at Lyon Road entrance.

Came here on Christmas day. The carpark to the river is a short walk to the actual river. There's not that many spaces with shade however there are lots of flat rocks like a jaggered cliff that you can sit on under the trees singularly. On the other side it's a flat area with no shade that you can do picnic. A tip would be to wear beach shoes with strap as thongs or slides will break or wear an old sneakers as there's heaps of sharp rocks in the water as well as mud and they hurt when you step on them in the water. Overall was a nice experience. It got really crowded after lunch and we left when it got too noisy. There's also no toilets or none that I saw.

Easy uphill hike with views of the lake. You're surrounded by trees and the rainforest scent is quite pleasant.
