Hike Summary

The Mount Dunn and Macs Point circuit hike explores a number of interesting rock formations, snow gum and mountain ash forests, alpine creeks and the rocky summit of Mount Dunn.

Commence the hike at the reservoir day visitor area and walk back the way you drove in to the start of the Long Forest Plain Walking Track. After approximately 1.5 kilometres from the car park you will reach the turnoff to Mt Dunn on your right. There is a relatively steep climb of 100m to reach the summit but the views are certainly one of the best on the Buffalo Plateau.

From the summit retrace your steps back down the eastern side of Mount Dunn, turn right and descend into the valley below. At the next trail junction turn right and follow the trail as it climbs up towards Wild Dog Plain, Split Rocks and the Giants Causeway with its spectacular rock formations. After exploring this area continue south west across a few small snow grass plains to Macs Point and stunning views over the Great Dividing Range.

Retrace your steps, turning left at the junction to continue on to Rocky Creek Track. The final leg of the circuit follows the Rocky Creek Track north east as it passes through snow grass plains and Snow Gum forest.
