Granite Peak Trail (Lysterfield Park)

Trail runners and hikers will enjoy the challenge of the Granite Peak Trail, Lysterfield Park.

Pitched at the more adventurous or for those looking for a challenge on their daily walk, this 5km Grade 4 trail climbs 165m uphill through native forest along the route of the old granite quarry tramline to Trig Point Lookout (223m). Whilst the gradient is steep, with some sections of uneven terrain, walkers are well rewarded with the spectacular 360-degree overlooking Melbourne.

Granite Peak Trail is for hikers, trail runners and walkers only. Mountain bikes are not permitted.

Change of Conditions

Nature being nature, sometimes conditions can change at short notice. It’s a good idea to check this page ahead of your visit for any updates.

Barbeques not in operation

  • Parks Victoria is carrying out inspections in all of our barbecues in our parks. Following these inspections, some barbecues have been temporarily closed until they can be attended by a licenced contractor. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.
  • Visitor safety is our top priority and we advise people to please not to use any barbecue facilities that have been closed. We expect the impacted barbecues to reopen in the coming weeks. 

Lyster Track CLOSED until further notice

A section of Lyster Track, between Boys Farm Track and Lower Buckle Trail, is CLOSED until further notice. This is due to erosion and degradation of the track surface causing unsafe conditions. We are working to repair the issue and recommend detouring via Boys Farm Track or Powells Track (towards East West Break or Lamberts Track) in the meantime (see attached Detour Map).
