Yan Yean Reservoir Park
Highlight • Lake
Yan Yean Reservoir Park is a beautiful bushland reserve surrounding Victoria's oldest water storage, with a mix of open eucalypt woodland and grassy picnic areas. Walking tracks wind through the park and along sections of the reservoir edge, with views across the water and access to quieter wetland areas. There are picnic tables, barbecues, toilets, and plenty of parking, making it a simple but well-equipped spot for that's ideal for a lovely day visit.

Yan Yean Reservoir
Highlight • Lake
Yan Yean Reservoir is a large, open water storage completed in 1857 as Melbourne’s first major water supply. Constructed by an earth embankment across Yan Yean Creek, it collects water from surrounding catchments and remains part of the city’s broader water system. Its wide expanse of open water creates a quiet, exposed landscape that contrasts with the surrounding bushland and supports a range of waterbird species.
