Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park

Chiltern-Mt Pilot National Park is a protected area in north-eastern Victoria that conserves box-ironbark forest, granite outcrops and remnants of goldfields-era landscapes. The park protects native woodland and a range of regional flora and fauna.

Trails and short walks lead to granite lookouts such as Mount Pilot, and through stands of box-ironbark eucalypts that are important for woodland bird species. Visitors can also explore historical features associated with 19th-century gold mining in the Chiltern area.

The park was created to conserve representative box-ironbark ecosystems and to protect landscape features and historic sites from broader agricultural and forestry pressures. Management focuses on habitat protection and low-impact visitor use.

The park lies in north-eastern Victoria between the small towns of Chiltern and Beechworth, within a rural landscape of farmland and historic goldfields.
