Lerderderg River

Highlight • River

The Lerderderg River winds through the centre of the gorge, cutting between steep rocky ridgelines and dense bushland as it flows through the state park. Along this section, the river alternates between shallow rocky crossings, calm pools, and faster flowing sections after rain, adding to the rugged feel of the walk. Water levels can rise quickly in wet weather, and some crossings may become difficult or unsafe after heavy rainfall.

Lerderderg Gorge Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Lerderderg Gorge Track follows the river through one of the most rugged sections of the state park, weaving between steep ridgelines, rocky escarpments, and dense bushland deep inside the gorge. Around the Mackenzies Flat to Grahams Dam section, the track is easy to follow, with stepping stone river crossings, shaded forest, and regular access down to the riverbed and waterholes. Further into the gorge, the terrain becomes much steeper and more challenging, especially after rain.

Grahams Dam

Highlight • Lake

Grahams Dam is a popular riverside spot reached by a short walk upstream from Mackenzies Flat. Shallow pools and stepping‑stone crossings make it a family‑friendly destination, with swimming and picnicking along the riverbank. The dam area is one of the most accessible highlights of the gorge.
