Reids Tramline Walk is a Parks Victoria walk in Victoria’s High Country, 13 km SE of Warburton.
- Walk · 6 km return · 1–4 hrs · Grade 4
This walk follows a historic tramline where horses and later, steam locomotives once hauled logs out of the forest. Begin at the Powelltown picnic area across from the DELWP office. Follow the signs to cross the Little Yarra River and head up the stairs to access the old Reids Tramline route. Along the walk you will come across parts of the old tramway and relics of an old timber mill, before exiting the bush and walking west back into town. Within the township you will pass many historic buildings including The Uniting Church and the area's last operating timber mill.
