Parts of Enfield State Park closed due to planned burn operations
Enfield State Park will be partly closed from the 12 October onwards due to planned burn operations, weather conditions permitting.The burn will take place in the south-eastern part of the park and some track closures will be in place.Main tracks closed are Peppermint Track, Orchid Track, East Break Dozed Track and Berringa-Misery Creek Road.Surface Point Picnic Ground and the signed walking track network are expected to remain open.Note that the eastern end of Misery Creek-Berringa Road will be closed, and access to Surface Point Picnic Ground will be via the western entrance (Staffordshire Reef Road/Berringa-Misery Creek Road) or the north (Incolls Road, followed by Misery Creek Road).It is expected that parts of the park will be closed until the 19 October, to ensure crews have time to complete the burn and make the site safe for visitors after the burn is completed. This may take longer in some instances. As large parts the park will remain open, you may experience smoke and reduced visibility during your visit.To make your visit a safe experience, follow road and walking track closure signs and instructions from Forest Fire Management Victoria personnel on site. For information on this planned burn contact Forest Fire Management Victoria – midlands on (03) 5335 0716 or go to plannedburns.ffm.vic.gov.au
