Read the official record Parks Victoria ↗Marsdenia Rainforest Walk is currently closed due to the need to upgrade bridges and boardwalks which have been deemed unsafe. Victorians love getting into nature, and we want to ensure people can do so safely while managing the park estate sustainably. Unfortunately, sometimes we must close unsafe sites and infrastructure, we do so in the interests of public safety and/or environmental protection, and to ensure that no one gets hurt and environmental impacts are avoided and/or managed. Before visiting, Visitors should always check the Parks Victoria website for the latest information about their destination.

Lake Tyers State Park is an iconic part of Victoria and an important focal point for many visitors. With a large number of visits per year, it’s very popular for outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, boating and walking. Unfortunately, sometimes we must close unsafe tracks, sites and infrastructure, we do so in the interests of public safety and/or environmental protection, and to ensure that no one gets hurt and environmental impacts are avoided and/or managed.

Lake Tyers State Park sits on Krauatungalung Country about 20 kilometres from Lakes Entrance, and is one of the jointly managed parks in Gippsland: the Joint Management agreement recognises that the Gunaikurnai people hold Aboriginal Title and continue to speak for this Country. It is a popular holiday area offering low-impact bush camping, fishing in the lake and on the Ninety Mile Beach, picnic areas along the water, and bush walks and forest drives through old-growth and warm temperate rainforest.
Recorded conditions here are four distinct notices, not one closure. Several tracks - Cameron’s Arm Number 2, Morass Break Track, Reedy Arm Number 1 and 2, and Happy Valley Track - are closed because of severe weather damage. Separately, the Marsdenia Rainforest Walk is closed so that bridges and boardwalks judged unsafe can be upgraded. Separately again, Parks Victoria runs ground-shooting control operations targeting deer, and ground-shooting control operations targeting foxes; both state that the park remains open to visitors during operations. ParkReady keeps the four apart rather than merging them into a single “park closed” claim, because they affect different places and end at different times.
Before visiting, check the official Parks Victoria page for the current track-closure list and for any reopening of the Marsdenia Rainforest Walk, and check VicEmergency and current conditions before driving the park’s unsealed forest roads. This site’s last-check time reflects automated retrieval, not an on-site inspection, and no matching condition here does not mean every track, campground or lake access point at Lake Tyers is open.
