Lake Eildon National Park is a protected area in central Victoria that surrounds and adjoins the Lake Eildon reservoir. The park conserves native box-ironbark and riverine habitats while providing access to water-based recreation.

Park facilities and day-use areas support boating, fishing, camping and short walks along the lake shoreline and nearby bushland. Much of the park is used seasonally for water recreation, with boat ramps and camping areas clustered close to the reservoir.

The park sits near the township of Eildon and several smaller settlements in Victoria’s high country, approximately 100 kilometres northeast of Melbourne by road.

• Recreation: The park surrounds the Lake Eildon reservoir and is a regional centre for boating, fishing and camping.
• Location: The nearest town is Eildon; the park lies roughly 100 kilometres northeast of Melbourne by road.

Lake Eildon National Park is about 150 km northeast of Melbourne via the Maroondah and Goulburn Valley highways. Main access points include the Eildon township and Jamieson; follow park signage from major roads. Check Parks Victoria for seasonal access and boat ramp information.

• The Great Victorian Rail Trail and nearby boat ramps make for good day combinations - check seasonal water levels before boating.
• Summer weekends can be busy with houseboaters; for quieter shores, aim for weekdays in shoulder seasons.
• Launch small craft from the Snobs Creek or Jamieson areas for more sheltered water and easier parking.
