Valley Walk (ST ARNAUD - PYRENEES STATE FOREST, Pyrenees Regional Park, Pyrenees National Park )

Set among the forested slopes of Pyrenees National Park, Valley Walk is a short walk that follows No. 2 Creek through a peaceful bush setting to a rocky outcrop and the seasonal Avoca Falls. The walk offers an easy way to experience the natural beauty of the Pyrenees Ranges, with native birds and forest scenery providing a relaxing backdrop.

The 1 km return walk takes about 20 minutes and is a Grade 3 track. Starting from Waterfall Picnic Area, the trail follows the creek through open forest and light shade before reaching the falls. Water flow is seasonal and is usually at its best during winter or after periods of heavy rainfall.

Waterfall Picnic Area provides toilets, picnic tables, fireplaces, wood-fired barbecues and camping facilities. Dogs on lead are permitted at Waterfall Picnic and Camping Area. Dogs are not permitted on Valley Walk. Drinking water is not available, so please bring your own. There are no rubbish bins, so please take all rubbish home. Campfires are only allowed in designated fireplaces where provided and when restrictions are not in place.

The Waterfall Picnic Area is located approximately 12 km west of Avoca. Once in Avoca, travel west along Vinoca Road (which turns into Waterfall Track) then on to the Waterfalls Picnic Area.

Valley Walk is in the South West Fire District. Bushfire safety is a personal responsibility.
