NATURE WALKS

There are over 10 short walks close to town with Steavenson Falls being a highlight.

Steavenson Falls - An easy 700 metre walk takes you to an awe-inspiring view of one of Victoria’s highest waterfalls. Plummeting 84 metres the falls have been a favourite since the 1860’s.

To get there drive to Steavenson Falls carpark, which is located 3km along bitumen on Falls Road. Alternatively take the Tree Fern Gully Trail, a scenic 3.4 one way walk from the heart of town to the base of Steavenson Falls.

Further information about Steavenson Falls and the other walking trails in Marysville and Surrounds are available from the Visitor Information Centre, so call in and pick up a map.

Keppel Lookout Trail - Climb up through stringybark and mountain ash forest to four of Marysville`s best lookouts for spectacular views across Marysville, the Cathedral Range State Park and Steavenson Falls.

The most challenging trail in the area, the Keppel Lookout Trail is fairly uneven and steep in places. Wear sturdy footwear and carry water and snacks.

Start the trail from the car park on Falls Road. Follow the trail across Robertson Gully before climbing up to Keppel Lookout, around the ridge passing Oxlee and De La Rue lookouts, and to the top of Steavenson Falls. Descend to the base of Steavenson Falls and follow the Tree Fern Gully Trail.
