  Errinundra National Park offers tranquil walks and scenic drives. It preserves the largest remaining stand of cool temperate rainforest in Victoria as well as ancient tall, wet eucalypt forests. The majority of the park is accessible only in the drier months. In winter, rain and snow generally make the unsealed roads impassable.

Heritage This area was declared a national park in July 1988. It has a diverse cultural history. The plateau was linked to ancestral trails and meeting places for local Aboriginal tribes. European history is evident from derelict mine shafts, old fence lines and machinery associated with early grazing leases, gold mining and timber harvesting. Errinundra Plateau is the source of seven rivers flowing both south and north, providing water for many of the region's communities before flowing into Bass Strait or becoming part of the Snowy River system.
