DETOUR!

If you feel like stretching your legs before your final picnic location we have a suggestion for you!If you are starving and cant bare the thought of waiting any longer for food, thats fine you can skip to your next clue.Leave your picnic basket in the car while you enjoy the fresh air at Maroondah Reservoir!

——

Upon arrival, we recommend either of the two walks:

Lookout Track
(Crosses the scenic dam wall)
1 km, 30 minutes - Moderate

 
This track starts from the information shelter located north of the main car park area. You can explore the attractions below the dam wall then climb the ‘Rose Stairway’ (for those who cannot climb steps there is a  bitumen walking track, at the eastern end of the car park, that also leads to the top of the wall). At the top of the stairway the track to the left leads across the dam wall to the lookout for spectacular views. 

Scenic Views Track
1.3 km, 30 minutes - Easy 

This scenic walk starts at the top carpark. Winding through grassed areas with large exotic trees and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains the track eventually reaches the top of the dam wall.Not up for a walk? Drive past the first entrance and you’ll find Selover's Lookout, where you can experience beautiful valley and reservoir views right from your car.  This part of the day is optional and you can get right back to your picnic when you’re ready!

When you are ready to continue, please proceed.
