Beechworth Historic Park — Attraction in Beechworth

Park with Historic

Located at 44 Elgin Rd, Beechworth VIC 3747, Beechworth Historic Park is a captivating gem in the High Country of Beechworth, Victoria. Steeped in gold rush history, the park offers a window into the 1850s when miners flocked to Spring and Reids Creeks, unearthing vast quantities of gold. Today, a 12km network of walking tracks winds through the rugged bushlands of the Gorge area, revealing remnants of this era—old mines, the Powder Magazine, and scenic routes from Lake Sambell to Lake Kerferd. Entry points like One Tree Hill and Ingram’s Rock make exploration accessible for all.

The park’s dry forest supports a unique ecosystem, with Stringybarks, Cypress Pines, and Blakely’s Red Gums towering above an understory of grevilleas, wattles, and wildflowers like orchids and lilies.
