Enjoying the Park

Picnicking

Camping

Middle Creek accommodates large groups with caravans and individual sites. There are five individual sites adjacent to the Ferntree picnic area.

Walking

A 15km network of walking tracks connect the Middle Creek and Ferntree camping areas. The Waterfalls Nature Walk, which begins at Ferntree picnic area is a short walk suited to everyone. The self- guided walk leads to the Ferntree waterfalls and the upper sections of the Middle Creek area.
