Perched among striking granite outcrops, Ben Nevis Picnic Area is a scenic destination within Ben Nevis Nature Reserve with sweeping views across western Victoria. From this elevated vantage point, take in panoramic views of the Grampians to the west, the Pyrenees Range to the north and the surrounding forested landscape below.

A short walk along the Management Vehicle Only track leads to even broader views and a commemorative plaque marking the site of Avro Anson aircraft W2020, which crashed here in 1942.

Facilities include toilets, picnic tables and fire places. Dogs are not permitted at Ben Nevis Picnic Area. No bookings or fees apply, and the site is accessible by 2WD vehicles. Drinking water is not available, so bring all the water you need for your visit. There are no rubbish bins, so please take all rubbish home.
