Marysville State Forest

Reviewed By CodyMav - Gold Coast, Australia

Heading north from Warburton, the road towards Marysville seems to climb foreever on a gentle grade, winding through a variety of landscapes, made even more interesting when you see the re-growth since the Black Saturday fires in 2009. But the highlight is clearly the thousands of tree ferns that line most of the road.

Reviewed By happywanderer1977

Terrific space for kids and adults a alike. Lots of features hidden in this little gem, including a small lake with trout fishing and a BBQ area to cook lunch. Kids played for hours. Highly recommended.

Beautiful waterfall that can be viewed from the top and bottom with some steps. Easy signage too. Easy drive up to the carpark however it is very busy and $3 parking. Clean toilets accessible.

Keppel Lookout Trail

Reviewed By Plum2007

This is a long hard walk. It takes about 4 1/2 to 5 hours if you come back via Steavensons Falls and is extremely steep on the way up. Wear good footwear and take plenty of water. There are no loos at the top so go before setting off. Wear a hat and take insect repellent and sunscreen. There were lots of March flies. We were really proud of ourselves when were finished the walk and the views are well worth it.

Marysville State Forest

Reviewed By CodyMav - Gold Coast, Australia

Marysville State Forest is quite extensive, climbing a long way which proffered excellent views at times; but the contrasts of the drive itself were the most remarkable. Seemingly endless tree-ferns lined the road, twisting ever upward. Very relaxing

Tree Fern Gully Trail

Reviewed By bronwens770 - Perth, Australia

Great track for a half day hike - leaves from behind the Marysville Information Centre so parking available (assuming it’s not a busy day). Track is gravelled and in good condition - lovely hike with a few short steep bits. Steavensons Falls at the end of the track quite pretty. We were there early Autumn so less water but would be great to see with more water flowing later in the year.

Cumberland Walk

Reviewed By Ronyjo

The 2km return walk to the Big Tree and back is well worth doing. The deep forest is magical. If you are a photographer, get your camera ready. There is so much to look at, including potential macro shots. The tree is clearly signposted: it’s a 300 year old, 87 metre mountain ash that deserves your attention, but there is so much more here. The Cambarville picnic area is delightful. The Big Culvert is worth a look, too. Beautiful old stone covered in mosses and lichens. We had a few very pleasant hours there his morning, and really enjoyed the drive up. Sad evidence of the fires, lots of new growth, and spectacular views.
