Creswick Miners Walk
Ballarat - Creswick 23km
This section of the Trail allows you to follow in the Creswick miners' footsteps. The walk begins at the Ballarat Railway Station and winds through Creswick Regional Park and Creswick State Forest.
From Ballarat it follows the Yarrowee Creek Valley to the outskirts of Ballarat. It then heads into the forest past Nuggety Dam and White Swan Reservoir. It goes over the Divide through the forest, coming onto water again at Slaty Creek. It passes the mining dams at Blue Waters and St Georges Lake (both great places for a swim in summer).
