Fingerpost Regional Park protects a landscape of eucalypt woodland, recreation areas and historic sites that reflect the history of forestry and recreation in central Victoria.
Forestry has played an important role in shaping this landscape. Historic sawmills once operated throughout the surrounding forest and remnants of this history can still be discovered today. Anderson Mill Walk leads visitors through bushland to the site of a former sawmill, while nearby Firth Park retains links to early forestry settlements and eucalyptus oil production. These places provide insight into the industries that helped shape the region and its communities.
Today, Fingerpost Regional Park is a popular destination for outdoor recreation. The park provides access to walking tracks, horse riding routes and the Wombat Forest mountain bike trail network. Campers can stay at Firth Park Campground beneath a canopy of heritage ornamental trees while exploring the surrounding bushland by foot, bike or vehicle.
The park supports both nature-based recreation and opportunities to explore the region's forestry heritage. Whether visiting for walking, camping, cycling or discovering local history, Fingerpost Regional Park provides opportunities to explore.
