Between August and October, the park is blooming with a wonder of colour as spring wildflowers take over. Heathlands come alive with Blue Pin-cushion Lily, Grampians Boronia, and a multitude of other shrubs and herbs.
The national park is an adventure oasis; Lake Bellfield and Lake Wartook are great for fishing or canoeing. Mackenzie Falls and The Balconies are great for a challenging hike whilst the many slopes are a rock climber’s heaven. Soak up the indigenous history from rock art painting sites.
