This diverse park offers visitors the chance to enjoy spectacular views, great walking and cycling, canoeing, or the opportunity to simply relax at your campsite and watch the local wildlife.

Located between the Victorian Alps and the Murray Valley, Warby‐Ovens National Park includes some of the State’s most significant bushland. It protects three very different ecosystems. Along the heritage-listed lower reaches of the Ovens River there are majestic River Red Gum forests. Because the river is unregulated by dams, it supports one of the most intact floodplain forests in northern Victoria. The Killawarra section has a very distinctive box-ironbark forest. It contains some patches of large old trees and is the most important part of the park for threatened birds such as the Swift Parrot, Hooded Robin and Speckled Warbler. The Warby Range contains a mix of grassy and healthy woodlands punctuated by granite outcrops. This area of the park offers wildflower displays in spring and several spectacular lookouts.

Only 10 kilometres from Wangaratta, it’s easy to access for a day trip to enjoy walks, picnics, birdwatching, bike rides, or a scenic drive. The views from Ryan's Lookout and Kwat Kwat Lookout are exceptional, especially in winter, with snow-covered peaks in the distance.

Explore the maze of walking tracks in the Warby Range and Killawarra Forest and enjoy the park's diverse birdlife and spring wildflowers. Or relax by the river with a picnic or barbecue.

Bring your gear and spend a few days camping, hiking, birdwatching, or even boating. The Ovens River provides some of the best still-water canoeing in the state, ideal for paddlers of any ability.

Look out for Black Wallabies or Eastern Grey Kangaroos darting off into the bush as you walk along the tracks. Early morning and late afternoon are generally the best times to see birds and other wildlife. Observant visitors also have the chance of seeing a spectacular Turquoise Parrot, Koalas or Lace Monitors.
