Masons Falls – Short Hike

PLEASE NOTE: This is our longest ‘short hike’ 😉 so you might be finished closer to 1pm as it is 13km and has some decent elevation gain and loss to boot (pun intended).

Masons Falls lies in the Kinglake National Park (the largest national park close to Melbourne) which is home to 40 native mammal and 90 native bird species.  Our short circuit route is a pleasant hike through the bush where we’ll see the spectacular falls. You’ll notice the regenerating bush still shows the impact from the Kinglake fires from 2019.

Our morning starts with a steady uphill walk as we make our way towards the summit of another Mt Sugarloaf! After a snack and admiring the views, we’ll have a long steep descent but just as we think we’re done with the uphill, we have a last little leg busting hill to go. After that last hill, we make our way down back along the river and past the beautiful waterfalls then a very short walk back to the cars.

Our short hikes are a great if you don’t have the time for a full day or want to test your fitness on a shorter hike. The hills on this hike can be quite steep, so be prepared for that.
