Cathedral Range State Park

Cathedral Range State Park is a 3,577-hectare protected area in the Murrindindi Shire near Taggerty, about 100 km northeast of Melbourne, Victoria. Dominated by a dramatic 7 km quartz sandstone ridge with peaks including Sugarloaf and Cathedral Peak, it is noted for rugged hiking, rock climbing and camping. Managed by Parks Victoria since 1979, the park offers forested valleys, panoramic views over the Acheron and Little River valleys, and well-maintained walking tracks.

Visitors can expect a rugged, forested mountain park centred on a narrow sandstone ridge with steep cliffs and rocky outcrops. The park offers marked walking tracks ranging from short valley walks to steep ridge climbs to Sugarloaf Peak and Cathedral Peak, with panoramic views over the Acheron and Little River valleys. Facilities are basic and bush-oriented, with two campgrounds (Cooks Mill and The Farmyard), picnic areas, pit toilets and car parks. Activities focus on bushwalking, rock climbing on designated cliffs, camping, photography and nature observation.
