Hepburn Mineral Springs Reserve

Great place for walks. Interesting bits of history about the various springs. Handpumps allow you to pump up the spring water. Which, to be honest, doesn't taste well: lots of sulphur and metallic flavours. Saw echidna and kookaburra.

There are multiple high-flowing taps for you to fill in the mineral water bottle of your choice.
Children's playground, public toilets and picnic area are available.
Public parking is also available at no charge.

Beautiful park with free natural springs with which you can pump to fill up your water bottles. Apparently they date back to a period of drought where they had to bore drinking water in the 1930s' , though all the original taps were replaced in 2007.

There are a few nature walks to more distant springs, however there are three or four within close walking distance of parking.

The entry to reserve is totally free. There are car parks to park the cars and then need to talk a little walk to the springs. There are few springs to see and don't forget to bring a water bottle to collect water from springs. Soda spring, Sulphur spring, Wyuna Spring, Locarno spring and Argyle spring are those springs you can see after a short walk. The hiking is not difficult at all. There is pavilion cafe inside the reserve and you can have food and coffee there. And there is a Bathhouse and spa inside as you enter the reserve. Don't forget to enjoy it too.

Worth a visit when you’re around Daylesford!
Beautiful park with a few mineral springs. A very unique and amazing experience trying all diferent kind of mineral/soda water.

Beautiful park with free natural springs. It is such a beautiful walk through the reserve during any season. There are several nature walks you can take, and they all are quite manageable. There are a few steep areas, but nothing too difficult.

It's such a beautiful place, especially in autumn, with a colorful nature! The picnic area was really good with a few barbecues and benches. The toilets were clean and had hand wash soap. Overall, I absolutely enjoyed my trip to this beautiful park! It was a great chill day!

Love the mineral water, walking tracks and picnic areas, but it needs some love as the blackberries are far over grown

Beautiful place with water pumps that allow you to drink from the Springs! Was a nice experience and wasn't expecting the water to be fizzy!!

Absolutely stunning area, crisp fresh air, lots of parking, walking paths and beautiful tall trees and greenery.
Sadly the wyuna spring pump wasn't working, however there's another 4 to choose from!
Take empty bottles with you, and bring some home, after 48hrs the water settles and the metallic taste I described as rusty nails seems to disappear!
A week on and I'm still enjoying the mineral water 😁

You can have a bbq as there's a pergola area or even a lovely picnic while listening to the birdsong and rustling trees in the crisp winter air!

Take warm clothes and waterproof shoes as some areas are muddy.

Excellent bushwalking. It can be uneven and spooky so bear that in mind. Also toilets, bbqs in the main reserve area. We saw a bus full of nuns!

Beautiful park for the public. Tasting the soda water and reading all about the history is fun. Plenty of areas to walk around. Lovely streams. Large chess board. Just as pretty at night as during the day. Also, a nice walk in the drizzle with a raincoat on means you get basically the whole place to yourself!

Lovely place and too fill up your bottles with spring water , tastes beautiful. Great walking tracks around and electric barbecues and plenty of tables and seats to use . Plus there is a lovely Cafe to go to .

Interesting mineral springs and a pleasant walk if visiting the spa facilities. Dogs are welcome too, so it's a great family stop-off if in the area.

Water has an interesting taste to it, and would probably be better with some concentrated juice.

Walk takes about 15 minutes (leisurely) to the end of the path, although you can go much further on if desired.

A memorable family outing and well worth the detour on our family holiday. We took the hike to Argyl spring with our young children. We even saw an echidna! Took a while to get the Argyl spring pump working but couldn't get Wiruna pump working. This was back in December 2022. Hopefully its fixed now. Would love to come back one day and spend more time exploring the area. Very peaceful.

Absolutely adorable! A free walk through the springs, take bottles and fill up free pure spring water.
There's a playground for children, very clean toilets and a cafe
The park is open 24/7. I highly recommend a stop here.
Walking tracks and wildlife.

Great place to visit. Easy walk to mineral springs. Definitely will visit again in future.

Breathtaking view and we accidentally found this place, highly recommend for a walk, and a small creek flowing down below.

Peaceful. Quiet. Serene.
Large car park.
BBQ facilities and bins.
Decent toilets.
Wheelchair accessible.
Dirt paths past the springs for longer hike/trek.
Lovely playground.
Dog friendly.
Be wary of wasps at the springs.
Water doesn’t taste as weird as Daylesford.
Beautiful spot for autumn photography.

Beautiful area, tranquil and peaceful walking trails. Definitely check it out.
