Daughter and dad out for a walk. We started out at Parrot Road and did a 15km round trip. Interesting hill climb at the start, but certainly got us both warm. I like how the track follows the contour of the aqueduct, meaning you are never far from shade. Fair to say that much more shade than sun - good for me when I'm walking. The tall trees are a delight to walk between and the amount of bird life means you are always immersed in the sounds of nature. The track is really well maintained. Will look for a different starting point next time so we can see more of the track. Turns out I'm not as fit as I thought I was! Thanks to Parks Vic staff for the great walk.

I've gone of this walk numerous times with my family who live in the area and still absolutely love it! Such a great walk and can have you out of the house, keeping active for hours and hours depending on how far around it you choose to go! Very beautiful, quite shaded in spots so you're not totally exposed to the sun but I'd always suggest wearing a hat and sunglasses with sunscreen reapplied regularly! And bring water! It's a mainly flat track but you might be walking for 2+ hours so keep that in mind! Also, be mindful on hot days that snakes may be around so keep a watchful eye at all times :)

Such a beautiful walk, very scenic in parts and often mainly flat. I took a picnic and rug and found a nice spot to enjoy the ambiance of nature. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday and I only saw a handful of people on bikes go past over a number of hours, no other walkers. No trouble finding a car park to access the track and it was well marked and maintained.

Great natural trail, with a way to embrace yourself in nature. Will be perfect for anyone, even for a short walk, or a long hike. Bike riding is also popular here, would recommend it. You should just ask a friend if there is any small construction along in some sections. This trail also extends to other areas, like water parks in villas, and along the way you may find a secret path that descends to a waterfall. From there you can drink water from the flowing river - it's fresh and natural.

Beautiful trail we walked along. But I'd ride next time. Nice wide flat trail through the rainforest.

At some of the car parks along the trail had restroom like 'near' Dee's Rd car park but it's a decent way off the track. It's along the road leading to the car park.

Pleasantly surprised with a drive to the the trial at the end of the Dee Road in Millgrove. Ample car space with stunning views of the Upper Yarra Valley. Road up the trail towards Warburton easily and it would be suitable for young family. Lots of shade with sneak views to the valley below. Walks or ride the trail are both enjoyable and whilst there is limited shade at the car park their are lots of grassed area to run around in or play ball. Paul

Have heard a lot about the O'shannassy trail and surprised it had taken so long to get to it. Really enjoyed. very flat track, wide enough for a vehicle if they were allowed. towering pine plantations and lots of native Aussie bush the entire route. 14km there and back. I did Dee rd to Younga rd. Dee bridge currently out of commission which I did not realise till I got there. will be back to complete other sections.

A lovely walking, biking or running track. The bridge is closed, so there's a (very muddy) walk around under the bridge, which can be quite slippy. There's a rope to help you up one side however! The rest of the walk goes on for a good way and it's a great walk to take your dog on leash. Plenty of nice views and a few interesting points along the way. Some nice wildlife to be seen and great for fresh air in general!

We walked the 4km section from Dee Road Carpark return in the morning. Gorgeous scenery and saw a lyrebird, heard another, lots of yellow robins, an olive whistler and some Bassian thrush amongst others. Easy level walking, in the shade mostly so quite chilly but beautiful and sunny back at the picnic tables.

The bike trails from Dee road park to Redwood Forest took me 3.5 hours to complete a 34km through and back. Certain stretches from Redwood Forest back to Shaunhennsy I had to walk the bike up. You get scenic fern forests along the way . No toilets along the way.

This is a beautiful track to hike ,you can go as far as you want ,flat track between the rd18 car park to Dee rd and return or start at Dee Rd car park and return total 14ks , then lunch /coffee at Symphony 36 in Warburton ps l have done a review also …

The trail is great, but unfortunately a tree has fallen on the bridge, and it has a very steep slippery detour! It should be closed!! It has been like this for several months. I would recommend NOT!! using the detour!!!! It is dangerous!!!!!

A great place for an easy walk in a forest. Not for adventure seeking ones, as it's a very well maintained flat and wide gravel path. The bridge is still closed, and it seems no work is being really done there. If you're walking, you can

Awesome scenery, lots of birds. One spot there's a bridge out,so you have to traverse around it's not to difficult.

Great trail which follows the old O'Shanassy aqueduct and is great for getting out into beautiful bushland without having to go up and down. Also good for bike riding with mountain or gravel bikes.

Lovely walk that you can do in sections. Can be a bit confusing at times to find start of track from different carparks which could be fixed with better signage. We love it.

Love the Aqueduct trail. Apart from being an easy long walk, the forest setting is just beautiful and really immerses you in the natural beauty and

Beautiful place to visit. Stunning views and scenery.

Cool, green, lush level walk. Plenty of birds and occasional sight of deer at twighlight. Nice views of the Yarra Valley from a few spots.

Lots of lovely nature to explore within the trail. You might be disappointed to find out there aren’t any toilets but the bush is there.

Great bike or walking track. A big reward at the end where the Weir is. Dip your feet and relax after a two hour ride from the cark park

Beautiful place to visit. Take a long walk along the aqueduct and maybe you'll be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a lyrebird or two

Awesome place to walk around or bike and picnic, the bridge is still closed. However, dogs are only allowed in the selected area.

Beautiful walking track, good night look out to, ignore some of the locals abit simple out that way if you know what I mean.

So beautiful, calming, peaceful, and the weather was so good too, I can just nap all day under the trees! More

Great trail, bridge still out after many months,getting around can be difficult especially if wet.

Excellent trail through magnificent forest with occasional views and plenty of shade on hot days

One could have long refreshing walk through the woods. Also the hike to La La Falls was great!

Amazing trail, very flat and well maintained. Recommended for most levels of riding skills.

Beautiful location. Be prepared no facilities along the way, not a table a tap or a toilet!

This place is stunning and so nice to be able to walk in the mountains but on a flat trail.

Pretty fantastic trail. The top carpark is reachable via SUV but wouldn't do it in a sedan.

Always good to ride this trail. Great views and if you are lucky, some wild deer

Close to Warburton, great length. Wide even walking path. Heavily vegetated.

Great day too get out and have some exercise and enjoy a beautiful scenery

Perfect place to take the dogs for a run. Have a picnic or just stay fit

Sadly the aquaduct has become overgrown with groth and fallen trees.

Great walk and if your willing to go bush you can find Platts falls
