The ancient hills in this regional park offer beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding area. To the west is Grampians National Park and to the east Ararat, Green Hills Lake and Mount Langi Ghiran. The Ararat Regional Park sets aside 1000 ha for visitors to enjoy activities such as walking, picnicking, driving, cycling and nature study in attractive forest settings.
