Humevale

At Toorourrong Reservoir Park in Humevale, water activities and walking trails come together. The park has walking trails and picnic facilities, as well as swimming areas, opportunities to swim in fresh water and places to paddle. This gives you different ways to spend a day outdoors: you can plan time by the water, explore the park on foot or combine a break with a picnic. The park provides a clear focus for planning your trip, without requiring every visit to follow the same routine.

Water, activity and a break

The swimming areas and opportunities to swim in fresh water give your visit a clear water-based element, complemented by places to paddle. If you want to spend most of the day by the water, swimming or paddling can be the main focus. Walking trails and picnic facilities offer a different emphasis: you can include both activity and a break in your plans for the same park visit. If you are travelling with people who have different interests, you can combine active time by the water with a more relaxing break. Check the current conditions in the park before your visit.

Two routes through the park

The Lily Pond Walk is a wide, level circuit through the lower part of the park. If you are planning a walk, it gives you a clear idea of the trail’s layout and location. Another route leads to the reservoir and branches off the paved main path at the Melbourne Water information sign. From there, it runs over a low concrete edge and then over compacted coarse gravel. At the pictured gate, the reservoir wall is 760 mm high, providing an unobstructed view of the water. The Lily Pond Walk is described as a circuit through the lower part of the park; the other route can be identified by its junction, surface and gate overlooking the reservoir. This lets you decide in advance whether to focus your plans on a circuit or on the named route to the water.

Views and practical information

Toorourrong Reservoir Park also has public toilets and parking, as well as lookout points with views of the reservoir. This means that, in addition to choosing between a circuit and a water activity, you can include a lookout in your plans. Consider whether you want your visit to focus mainly on activity, time by the water or views of the reservoir.
