Bushwalks &
Boardwalks

An easy walk with plenty of spectacular views on offer, the Summit Walk is a great one for young families. With sections that take you through snowgum woodland and stops along the way that look out north to the Alps and south to Marysville and Melbourne, it is a fantastic addition to any big day.

An easy interpretative walk along the ski trails. This walk starts at Lake Mountain Village. Follow Echo Flat trail and you will soon enter the Snow Gum woodland and see firsthand how well the snow gums are recovering since the 2009 fires. Interpretative signs along this walk outline the history of the area and the remarkable way this environment regenerates after fire.

At the top of the hill, you’ll arrive at the Snow Gauge. From here you can look out across the headwaters of the Taggerty River and the Echo Flat heath land and moss beds. This is an area of high conservation significance and is listed under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988). Late spring and summer are ideal times to visit to enjoy the profusion of stunning wildflowers.

A wheelchair-accessible boardwalk at Snow Hill car park, where the first skiers on Lake Mountain tried their skills in the 1920’s.

Signage along this interpretative walk outlines the characteristics of Snow Gums and Alpine Ash, the two eucalypts that dominate this plateau, as well as the skiing history of the area and the impacts of fire on these forests.

Filled with interpretative signs, this boardwalk allows visitors of all ages and abilities to appreciate the splendour of our little mountain’s sub-alpine environment. It is the ideal way to begin understanding the ecology of bushfires in the Australian landscape while also learning more about the history of the local area.
