Lerderderg Gorge Heritage River Walk

Journey deep into the rugged beauty of Lerderderg State Park on this heritage trail that weaves together 19th century gold-mining history and nature. We’ll hike through lush fern gullies, historic water races and eucalypt forests lining the Lerderderg river. It’s a moderately challenging women’s hike with uneven terrain and sections that test your footing, but the stunning scenery and views make it highly rewarding.

Included on your hike:

  • Friendly, knowledgeable, first-aid trained guides equipped with emergency communication devices
  • Healthy and delicious morning tea and lunch
  • Small group and connection with like-minded women
  • Required permits and licences
