Powelltown Picnic Area is a Parks Victoria picnic area in Victoria’s High Country, 13 km SE of Warburton.
Just off Powelltown's main street and near the Little Yarra River, this site offers facilities for day visitors and access to walks (Walk Into History and Reids Tramline). An old timber bogie used to haul timber from the forests sits in-situ. The picnic area is situated close to the tranquil Little Yarra River and is shadowed by tall Eucalyptus forests and tree ferns. The picnic facilities including tables and wood fired barbecues are spread along the grassed area just off the main road.
