Lake Mountain Leadbeaters Walk

This 600m return walk leaves from the south east corner of the Lake Mountain Village Car Park.

Interpretative signs along the walk highlight the impacts of both the 1939 and the 2009 fires on the Lake Mountain plateau. The signs identify the regrowth Alpine Ash trees from 1939, the new saplings growing since the 2009 fires and relics from the timber logging that occurred here after the 1939 fires.

Access for Dogs:

Cats and dogs are not permitted.

Review:

An easy walk which starts with a wide grassy path and then loops through the bush before connecting back to the wide path again. There are blue and yellow striped arrows showing the trail but you are very unlikely to get lost.

The information/activity points include:

Relics of cable operation to recover post 1939 bushfire logs.
How old is this tree? Count the rings and you'll find that it existed before 1939.
Plank notches on this stump are a relic of early timber harvesting methods.
