A great autumn hike starting in the pretty township of Creswick and combining some of the famous Goldfields Track and two of the region's beautiful lakes.

This is a reasonably easy 19km hike with no major climbs, just a few smaller hills but will include a little bush bashing and some walking on narrow single track.
Small sections of the track are also used by mountain bikers but hopefully not too many around.

This picturesque hike will take us through the Creswick Pine Plantation (the land of a million Christmas trees) , a beautiful oak plantation and some stunning native gum forests.
We will also hike around two very pretty bodies of water, being St Georges Lake and the Cosgrave Reservoir. Both home to a large range of bird life.
We will then head slowly back to the start through the historic township before heading to the Hotel for a late lunch (optional)
Again not a difficult hike but is a bit adventurous in places.
