This Silver Creek Circuit Kinglake circuit is a combination of outer routes of the suggested loops for Silver Creek. It is quite a scenic walk with a few steep hills to get the lungs going. The tracks follow vehicle management tracks. The area is still regenerating from the tragic fires. There are the cascades roughly halfway along that are worth a look as well. Upon arrival there is an information board with a basic map and a series of suggested loops colour coded.
The route can be done either way (clockwise or anticlockwise), there is no distinct advantage to either. Plus if you are short of time you could choose one of the shorter loops. At the time of writing signage was very good along the route. But do take a copy of the map so you can know which junction to take.

Walked this today. Map at entry was easy to understand and coloured pointers on trail posts were good. Range of flora was interesting. Some clearing of fallen trees from winter storms was evident with a little more needed. We enjoyed it,. We walked the red, yellow and orange trails combined which took about 4 hours.
I walked this in the last year. It was worthwhile but the steep fire trail sections were a little tiresome _ could see the potential for pleasant graded walking track.
I walked this last weekend. The Cascades section has a number of fallen trees across the trail – is almost impassable. The other loops are clear.
