Pyrenees National Park protects approximately 15,000 hectares of forest, ridgelines, valleys and recreation landscapes in western Victoria. The park brings together the former Pyrenees State Forest with the existing Landsborough and Landsborough Hill Nature Conservation Reserves, creating a large protected landscape across the Pyrenees Range.
The park is characterised by mixed-species eucalypt forest, rugged ridges, rocky outcrops, seasonal waterways and expansive views across the surrounding countryside. It protects relatively undisturbed forest communities, mature eucalypts and habitat for a range of native plants and animals, including populations of the threatened Pyrenees Gum.
For thousands of years these landscapes have formed part of the cultural landscapes of Traditional Owners. Today, the park continues to protect important natural and cultural values while providing opportunities for visitors to experience and connect with Country.
Bushwalking and camping are key visitor experiences within the park. The challenging Pyrenees Endurance Walk traverses ridgelines and forested landscapes, while shorter walks such as the Valley Walk provide access to seasonal waterfalls and creek environments. Waterfall Picnic and Camping Area and Camerons Track Campground offer convenient bases for exploring the park's wildlife and scenic landscapes.
