Melbourne Social Walks - Sugarloaf Reservoir Circuit Trail - Moderate - 15km

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Join us for another awesome Social Walk with Adam as we explore the majestic grounds of Sugarloaf Reservoir. This is a 15km loop walk that traverses along the dam wall that overlooks a stunning expanse of water with the Christmas Hills off in the distance. We will also be able to see the CBD from the top of Sugarloaf Hill! and wildlife is highly likely where kangaroos should be hopping through the fields.

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