Lakes Loop Walk (Barmah National Park, Dharnya Centre)

Begin this circular walk at the Dharnya carpark or join at the the Barmah Lakes campground, day visitor area or Rices Bridge.

The walk passes through mature and regrowth River Red Gum trees past a number of Aboriginal oven (cooking) mounds. It skirts the edge of Barmah Lake, eventually reaching the Murray River and Broken Creek.

The Dharnya Centre sits within Barmah National Park, part of the Ramsar-listed wetlands of international significance. Recently upgraded with multimillion-dollar facilities, the Centre offers curriculum-aligned school camps (from 2026), in-school programs, guided Yamyabuc Trail walks, cultural exhibitions, and tailored corporate day experiences.

Visitors are welcomed to learn, connect, and share in cultural knowledge on Yorta Yorta Country.
