Take your pick of beautiful, dedicated walking trails across the Loddon Valley, from meandering around quaint towns to all-day hikes in our state and national parks.
Among the forests, plains, river flats, wetlands and granite outcrops of the Loddon Valley, more than 300 fauna species thrive. That includes 70 different orchids and 80 different daisies. Travel the valley at a walking pace, and you'll have a good chance of spotting them.
Go for a hike up Mount Kooyoora, colloquially known as Melville's Caves after the outlaw Captain Melville, rumoured to have hidden out here among the mountain's crags and cracks. When you reach the summit, you'll find a beautiful bird's eye view of the surrounding area.
Find evidence of Indigenous habitation as you walk the valley. At Kooyoora State Park - rock wells and scar trees endure, and on the walking path around Little Lake Boort and at Lake Boort, you can see incredible scar trees and cooking mounds - simply incredible. And that's just the start!
All mapped out tracks are available in physical copies from the Loddon Visitor Information Centre.
