Starting near the Mahogany Car park on Horsewood Road, Lysterfield, this walk loops around Lysterfield Lake, past Lysterfield Hills and back. Enjoy a peaceful walk around the lake and the surrounding hills, with fantastic nature and wildlife to admire. Many kangaroos can be spotted grazing on the lake's shoreline along the way. As you walk across the dam wall towards the end of the walk, you will get the best views of the lake. This walk has plenty of variety, with many flat sections and a couple of steep climbs easily handled on the well-maintained trails. Many signposts facilitate navigation. Keep in mind that this walk is very popular and can get rather busy on weekends. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
