The Yea River walk exists on land donated to the people of Toolangi and until the turn of the century a sawmill, 'Scherbers' operated in this forest.
The Yea River begins its journey in the mountains of the Central Highlands and becomes part of the Goulburn water catchment, flowing into the Goulburn River.
This walk is an easy one hour loop that takes you through two different forest types: open forest at the start of the walk and then it changes dramatically to Mountain Ash and associated ferns and mosses at the Yea River.
Across Kinglake- Healesville Road the Toolangi Sculpture Trail can be added on if you have time for a longer walk and an appreciation for ephemeral art.
