Cathedral Range State Park
- Cathedral Range State Park
Cathedral Range State Park is a state park in Victoria, Australia which encompasses the spectacular Cathedral Range. It is located to the east of Maroondah Highway, between Buxton and Taggerty.
The Cathedral Range State Park is a popular bushwalking destination for Victorians, as it provides a wide variety of terrain and is easily accessed from Melbourne. Managed trails cover the extent of the range, from Little Cathedral Peak at the north end of the range, through Cathedral Peak, North and South Jawbone, to Sugarloaf Peak at the south end. The trails carry signs warning of "steep and difficult terrain", as several of the higher trails require scrambling across rock formations. From Neds Gully carpark, the walk to Sugarloaf Peak via the Farmyard is listed as 4 hours one way.
Access into the park is via two entrances: one leading to the Neds Gully camping ground, and one at the base of Sugarloaf Peak. The two other camping areas are Cooks Mill, and the Farmyard, which is only accessible by foot.
In addition to bushwalking, abseiling at Sugarloaf Peak, and canoeing along Little River are possible.
