Black Range State Park protects rugged and spectacular bushland in an area where much of the natural vegetation has been cleared for farming. The Black Range, similar in character to the Grampians Ranges to the east, is important for fauna conservation, contains a rich and diverse flora and has highly significant Aboriginal art and occupation sites.

Things to Do

• Black Range State Park (11 700 hectares) and the surrounding area provide for excellent bushwalking. A long walk commences at the Black Range Picnic Area and leads to the top of the Black Range providing excellent views. The walk continues south along the range to Muirfoot Track. More adventurous walkers can choose to continue along Muirfoot Track to a walking track leading to Mount Byron (an elevation of 520 metres) or return to the picnic area.
• The rugged sandstone cliffs of the Black Range, spring wildflowers and the sense of Aboriginal history complement more active recreational pursuits available within the areas adjacent to the park.
• Rocklands Reservoir, which abuts the Park to the south-east, offers camping, a range of water based activities including boating and fishing, with Redfin predominating.
• The Grampians State Forest and Claude Austin State Forest, which surround much of the park, also offer a range of recreational opportunities from camping to bushwalking and nature study.
