Yellow Gum Park

I have never seen so many kangaroos in one place.

A fabulous walk around the Blue Lake was the perfect way to spend an hour in nature, especially on a crisp autumn day.

Not far from home either!

Such a beautiful place for a good hearty walk, blue lake is lovely and nice for a dip on a hot day. Great for an old quarry. Suggest to get in early as there is not many places to set up a picnic blanket in the shade. Sitting spaces only in 2 spots.

One of my favourite spot now, you either can walk , hike, cycling or run but no signboard, so make sure you download the apps before start your journey. Bunches of kanggaroos too. Highly recommended @avocardio_melbourne

Beautiful little spot, with great surrounding nature, walks and a mini lake that's perfect for mini dip - bring a floatie so you don't have to touch the very muddy bottom.
The public toilets are at the start of the walk down, so a fair walk if you're not willing to do the bush thing.

Beautiful afternoon walk at Yellow Gum Park and the Blue Lake in Plenty Gorge. Such gorgeous views. Great walk to do with kids. The track is wide (fire access track) although made from gravel. A pram would be okay, but probably not a stroller. Mountain biking is extremely popular in the park as well. We walked the loop around the Blue Lake from the carpark. But there are many more tracks to explore!

It was a rainy ☔🌧 Saturday. Calm environment, stunning views, and beautiful nature. It’s a good beginner friendly trail to explore. Even with children.

Tracks doing well and parking is great, just keep in mind the algal content in the water, and if it gets a bit too green it might become less safe for swimmin

Nice place for a short bush walk. Saw many people swimming in the lake as well. The view from the top is pretty nice. The path is pretty uneven & rocky so could be a bit tricky for those in wheelchairs or pushing prams.

Plenty of walking trails and a maze of MTB trails in this region of the gorge. The circuit around Blue Lake is a popular one. People also swim in the lake. If you're spending the afternoon there, please remember to take your own rubbish away with you. It was sad to see a lot of rubbish left and empty bottles in the lake.

Nice park not far from the city. Highly recommended.

Lots of trails for exploring with creeks, lakes and hills

Spot multiple animals such as birds, rabbits, kangaroos and even wombats.

However it can a bit un-relaxing with all the bikes. Lots of bmx tracks as well

All the different little ways and spots along the river are incredible. I can connect with nature a lot and watch the water, birds, trees, butterflies, little animals. I meet very nice people they are part of the Facebook group “Melbourne girls outside”. Every Sunday mountain bike tours where people come together. There is a outside bbq area and toilet too. Here a big wish: leave the land cleaner that when you found it. Please respect nature and take your rubbish with home 🌱🙏🏽

A nice spot for a walk with pretty sunset views. Thé there are a few different tracks you can take, some of them are bmx tracks which are still walkable but steep in some parts.
Lots of wildlife, I saw a wombat and an echidna and lots of birds and kangaroos.

Absolutely stunning place, the tracks are well marked and not too hard on the foot. Good facilities and some well loved peace and quiet not far from the city!

TOP TIP: Sit down at blue lake and watch the birds swirling over the water, it’s beautiful!

Nice walking or biking trail path, large picnic areas. Road to the park is gravel with many holes, so car with lower ground clearance can have hard time. Park has BBQ area, toilet and table. For people with kids and pets, be careful as there are cliff edge and deep water. Good place to visit and enjoy.

Somehow ended up in Mill Park and found this landmark in the vicinity and decided to give it a visit which ended up being a good trek as we were pressed for time. The natural Landscape is really beautiful with a breathtaking cliff overlooking a lake surrounded by Gums! Would have liked to spend more time!

Really nice park, with range of walks for all ages and groups.

Remember to bring water, as there are no drinking water in the park.

Plenty of parking spaces and areas to rest.

Though there are sign post warnning not to swim, you can see young kids swimming in the lake.

The walk around the blue Lake was a tranquil experience. A truly untouched area tucked away in outer Melbourne. Will definitely be heading back with the family for a bbq

Great place for a walk and a swim. Went there without bathers but I couldn't help jumping into the lake anyway. Will definitely be returning!

Beautiful park for little walks. Dogs are not allowed.

Wonderful walk on the loop trail around Blue Lake. There is a good path though it is uphill for part.
