Melbourne Social Walks - Lysterfield Park Granite Peak, Summit & Lake Circuit Trail - Moderate 12km

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Join us for our next Social Walk with Nathan & Lara on Sunday the 18th of August as we visit Lysterfield Park to complete the Granite Peak Trail, Summit & Lake Trail Circuit.

Our Social Walks are a great way to get outside, get your body moving and make some amazing new friends along the way!

WHAT TO EXPECT

The Granite Peak Trail. Summit & Lake Trail Circuit trail is a moderate hike (400m of elevation) and requires a reasonable level of fitness to complete - but beginners are welcome however there are a few small hills that may test you. 

This hike includes some hills, occasionally walking on some rocky trails and bushwalking which can be slippery and muddy when wet.  

The trail includes some beautiful views of Lysterfield Lake with some great lookouts, amazing native fauna and most importantly a great chance to spot heaps of Kangaroos and Wallabies. If we get really lucky we may even find some Echidnas!  

Starting from the Lysterfield Lark Cark, this hike is around 12kms return. 

The Hike should take between 3.5 to 4 hours to complete depending on our pace and how long we stop for a picnic lunch.
