We did the 4.7km loop trail and found it to be an easy to medium-level walk—great for a relaxed outing. The track is well-maintained, so no need to go off-road, and it’s suitable for walkers of most fitness levels. There’s also a designated path for bikers, which is a nice bonus. A few smaller loops branch off with lovely views of the lake. Peaceful setting, and we didn’t spot any snakes. A pleasant and accessible nature walk!

Beautiful afternoon walk at Yellow Gum Park and the Blue Lake in Plenty Gorge. Such gorgeous views. Great walk to do with kids. The track is wide (fire access track) although made from gravel. A pram would be okay, but probably not a stroller. Mountain biking is extremely popular in the park as well. We walked the loop around the Blue Lake from the carpark. But there are many more tracks to explore!
