About Snowy River National Park
Snowy River National Park is a large wilderness park in East Gippsland, Victoria, protecting the Snowy River and its deep gorge country near Buchan and Orbost. Established in 1979, it covers about 98,700 hectares of rugged sandstone gorges, including Little River Gorge, Victoria's deepest. Notable for dramatic cliffs, the Snowy River, McKillops Bridge, and remote bushland, it offers wilderness camping, hiking and river-based recreation in a largely undeveloped natural setting.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote, rugged wilderness centered on the Snowy River gorge with steep sandstone cliffs, forested valleys and river flats. The park is largely undeveloped with unsealed roads, walking tracks, lookouts such as Little River Gorge lookout, and basic campgrounds along the river. Activities focus on bushwalking, camping, canoeing and kayaking, four-wheel driving and sightseeing. Facilities are minimal and the landscape is natural and isolated with limited signage and no shops.
