Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape that includes the traditional Country of the Yorta Yorta Peoples. Parks Victoria respects the deep and continuing connection that Traditional Owners have to these lands and waters, and we recognise their ongoing role in caring for Country. 

Spanning 21,636ha, Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park protects open eucalypt forest of Red Stringybark, Blakely’s Red Gum, Grey Box and Mugga Ironbark.

Located between Beechworth and the low hills surrounding Chiltern, tour the area and you'll be privy to the striking Mount Pilot Range and Woolshed Falls. 

There are a number of established picnic sites located throughout the park. Bring a picnic basket and head to Reedy Creek, a popular spot amongst campers and prospectors. Camping and accommodation are available in the nearby historic towns of Chiltern and Beechworth.

With well-formed vehicle tracks throughout the park, it's a wonderful place for short or day-long walks, cycling and horse-riding, as well as car and four-wheel drive touring. 

Visit Yeddonba – an important site for Aboriginal people – and you'll be able to view original Aboriginal rock art. The Mount Pilot area was the original land of the Dhudhuroa tribe with many other Aboriginal groups passing through or camping in the valleys surrounding Mount Pilot Range. For these tribes, game and native plants were plentiful in these areas.  

The park contains the highest number of mammal, bird and reptile species recorded at any Box-Ironbark site, making it a fantastic location to spot and photograph natural habitats. More than 200 bird species have been recorded in the park including threatened woodland species such as the Regent Honeyeater, Swift Parrot, Turquoise Parrot and Square Tailed Kite.  Eastern Grey Kangaroos can be seen grazing during late afternoon and Black Swamp Wallabies are often observed darting out from rocky outcrops.  A variety of tree dwelling mammals including the Tuan (Brush-tailed Phascogale), Squirrel Gliders, Sugar Gliders and Feathertail Gliders seek out small hollows for breeding and shelter. Common Brushtail and Ringtail Possums are also found in the park.
