3 Best Hiking Trails in Bendigo, VIC

Nice open camp sites with plenty of room for 1 tent or many per site. Makes a big difference having flushing toilets too. Mt Alexander loop hike is a great walk with many boulder outcrops to play on. Will certainly be back.

Nice place to go bush walking, with lots of nice scenery and lookouts. Can take kids too (took my 5 y.o. and she enjoyed it). Lang's Lookout is a good place to start.

Beautiful location for camping, hiking, climbing and just exploring. Some great walking tracks, toilets at Leanganook Picnic area. Kid friendly and they will love the freedom to run around and explore.

An outstanding place for wildlife photography - bird photography in particular. The mulga's are everywhere and in full flower at the moment, bees can be heard in large numbers and honeyeaters are prolific. Highly recommended if you're a bird photographer!

Big area, lots of different environs, heaps of historical gold diggings etc, plus you can still prospect much of it. Quintessential Australian Bush. You also free camp many areas.

This is the Whipstick. It is a very interesting forest and contains all things interesting. Unique flora and fauna, archeological relics etc. It it's also large.

Beautiful and serene place, best experienced in late Spring or Summer when the Oak leaves are at their largest (unlike us when we visited in early Spring). On the downside, the dirt road is woefully bad and full of potholes so drive slowly and carefully. Toilet facilities are also not worth mentioning as they are 3rd rate at best. Probably better to avoid using them at all....no toilet paper or sanitary hand wash anyway. But, the site is a wonderful place, worth every minute to experience.

Gorgeous spot for a walk/hike through the oak forest and beyond, especially mid to late May with the leaves turning and endless fascinating species of fungi and mushroom. Nice free camping spot all year round with basic but clean facilities - great for families with heaps of lovely trails of varying length and fitness capacity. Great for daily walkers like us (whose dog will one day hopefully develop a nose for truffles).

Great picnic spot for the family. Walk or ride the woods. Even Camping. We walked.
