Alfred National Park

How to Get to Alfred National Park #

Alfred National Park is in eastern Victoria. The nearest larger service towns are Cann River and Orbost; reach the park by local roads off the Princes Highway. Because signage and services are limited, drive with a map and check Parks Victoria for the latest access information.

Tips for Visiting Alfred National Park #

If staying overnight, use nearby towns such as Gelantipy or Cann River as bases-rural roads are narrow and sometimes unsealed.
Carry a topographic map or GPS: mobile coverage is patchy in parts of Gippsland and the park's trails are not heavily signposted.
Check Parks Victoria alerts for fire restrictions and track closures-this area is sensitive to bushfire risk.

Best from late spring through early autumn for walking and wildlife viewing; check Parks Victoria for seasonal track closures.
