The Lake Sandra walk is a It's a lovely walk that initially progresses through a moss covered forest of the Mount Murchison Regional Reserve. The track gradually climbs to the shores of Lake Sandra. The trail becomes less distinct as you climb so keep an eye out for rock cairns, ribbons and the occasional splash of red paint. The view over Lake Sandra and the surrounding park are best from the knoll directly to the east of the lake.
Dogs are not permitted on the Lake Sandra trail.
