Set among large Messmate trees in Mount Buangor National Park, The Glut Picnic Area is a shady forest retreat and an ideal base for exploring the surrounding bushland. The open grassy clearing provides a peaceful place to relax, enjoy a picnic and experience the sights and sounds of the forest.

The picnic area is the starting point for Paradise Walk, a half-day loop walk through nearby eucalypt forest, and Grevillea Walk, which links to Richards Camping and Picnic Area. With opportunities for bushwalking and a quiet natural setting, The Glut Picnic Area is well suited to a day visit with family and friends.

Facilities include picnic tables and fireplaces. Dogs are permitted on lead. No bookings or fees apply, and the site is accessible by 2WD vehicles. There are no rubbish bins, so please take all rubbish home. Campfires are permitted in the fireplaces provided if it is not a Total Fire Ban day.

The Glut Picnic Area is in the South West Fire District. Bushfire safety is a personal responsibility.
