WHAT TO EXPECT

Lilydale Lake is a perfect balance between picturesque and adventurous!

The Track is a 8.5 km loop situated at the foothills of Mount Dandenong and the Yarra Valley and will take around 3-4 hours to complete depending on our pace. 

Walkers of all levels of fitness are welcome at this event.

The Lilydale Lake and the surrounding area has a few mild inclines in parts but all in all it is an incredible walk that showcases the beautiful views of the Yarra Valley and Olinda Creek. On the walk we'll see native birdlife at Lilydale Lake, amongst the wonderful gum trees along Olinda Creek and the beautiful surrounding wetlands. Something not to be missed!
