This is a great trail to explore, travelling to picturesque Lilydale Lake via Hull Road Wetlands. The route connects multiple loops between Lilydale Lake and Olinda Creek Trail. This is a delightful loop is great for people looking to exercise, bird watch or just a peaceful walk.
Start and end point: Carpark off Akarana Road
Grade: Easy
Length: 6.0km
Elevation gain: 101m
Expected walking duration: 1h 24m
Equipment: A small backpack with 1-1.5L water, and sun protection. A good pair of runners is necessary or even better, a pair of hiking shoes or boots. The main benefit of hiking shoes will be some waterproofing, and sturdier soles for better balance and support. Hiking poles are optional and may be beneficial for steeper sections of the walk. They are good for adding balance and taking some load off the legs (and we can teach you how to use these properly if never used before!)

Full insurance for all participants
Parks Victoria Licensed guide trained as a wilderness first aid responder
Snack during and post walk
