Keppel Lookout Trail is a Parks Victoria walk in Victoria’s High Country, 1.7 km SE of Marysville.
- Walk · 11 km return · 3.5 hrs · Grade 4
The most challenging walk in the area, Keppel Lookout Trail climbs through Mountain Ash and Stringybark forest to visit four of Marysville's best lookouts. There are spectacular views across Marysville, Cathedral Range State Park and Steavenson Falls. The trail is fairly uneven and steep in places and walkers need to be self sufficient with food and water and wear sturdy footwear. The walk is best done in an anticlockwise direction, first crossing Robertson Gully before climbing steadily up to Keppel Lookout. The trail then traverses around the ridge passing Oxlee and De La Rue Lookouts before reaching the top of Steavenson Falls, before descending down to the base of Steavenson Falls.

Getting there
Start at the trailhead located on Falls Road (alternatively the walk can be started from Marysville by taking the Tree Fern Gully Walk towards Steavenson Falls, to join with the Keppel Lookout Trail). Once you complete the loop walk down to the base of Steavenson Falls, follow the Tree Fern Gully Walk back towards Marysville, before turning left on the loop track about 200m after you cross Yellow Dog Road, to return to the carpark.
