Chick Hill Walk is a short but challenging bushwalking trail offering rewarding panoramic views across the surrounding landscape.

Spanning approximately one kilometre return, this Level 4 walk takes around one hour to complete and is suited to walkers with a moderate level of fitness. The track begins at the intersection of Wirrinya Avenue and Taaffe Road in Hamilton Park and quickly climbs uphill, delivering a steady and often steep ascent.

While the distance is relatively short, the climb can be demanding, with minimal signage along the route. Walkers should be prepared for uneven terrain and are encouraged to take care, particularly on steeper sections.

At the top, the effort is rewarded with sweeping views across the region, including glimpses of the Alpine ranges and Mount Buffalo in the distance. The trail also connects with the Ridge Track, providing an option for more experienced hikers to extend their journey towards Mount Glenrowan.

Chick Hill Walk offers a satisfying challenge for those seeking a quick but invigorating outdoor experience, combining bushland scenery with scenic lookouts just minutes from town.
