Escape into nature on the breathtaking walk to Wild Dog Falls - one of Mount Samaria State Park's best-kept secrets.

Starting from the carpark on Mount Samaria Road, the well-marked trail winds through peaceful native forest, where birdsong fills the air and nature takes centre stage.
At the top of the falls, you will be treated to panoramic views over Lake Nillahcootie and the distant Strathbogie Ranges—a stunning spot to pause, reflect, or enjoy a scenic picnic.
