Trig Point Lookout Trail (Churchill National Park, Lysterfield Park)

Trig Point Lookout Trail incorporates sections of steep, uneven terrain, but with rewards of spectacular views. Immerse yourself amongst the tall gum trees, native bushland and abundant wildlife to experience the true beauty of Churchill National Park as you hike to the lookout.

The return walk or ride from the Churchill Picnic Ground to Trig Point Lookout follows old aqueduct along the Stonemasons Track before opening to spectacular 360 degree views of Melbourne. This track provides opportunities for wildlife viewing as visitors often spot Eastern-grey kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas or many of the bird species that reside within the environment. Keep a close eye on the tree tops, looking out for a Powerful Owl roosting amongst the eucalypts.

Trig Point lookout is 3.4km one-way Grade 2 trail
