Lysterfield Park

Lysterfield PARK
🧭 Trail Description (Step-by-step)

1. Start at Mahogany Carpark or Logan Park Track entrance

• Follow signs toward Trig Track / Trig Point Lookout
• The trail begins as a fire access road or formed gravel trail

2. Ascend the Trig Track

• This is the steepest section – steady incline for 1.5–2 km
• Surface is gravel/dirt; can be slippery in winter → wear good grip shoes
• Elevation builds quickly—expect heart rate to rise here

3. Reach Trig Point Lookout

• You’ll see a small clearing with a concrete trig marker
• Views of Dandenong Ranges, on a clear day even Port Phillip Bay
• Great spot for a short water break and photos

4. Descend via Logan Park Track or the loop trail

• The descent is more gradual if you return via Logan Park Track
• Loop finishes back at your original trailhead

📌 Notes:

• 🦘 You’ll likely see kangaroos in the open grass near the base trail

• ☁️ In August, early morning may be misty → consider a windbreaker

• 🧭 Trails are well-marked but bring Google Maps or AllTrails just in case
  🧳 What to Bring:

• Good trail runners or hiking boots (steep gravel)

• Windproof jacket (cold and windy at top)

• Water bottle (at least 500–750ml)

• Snack if doing it slow or after a workout
