Lower Glenelg National Park

Lower Glenelg National Park is a nature reserve in Victoria where the Glenelg River flows through limestone gorges with steep cliffs and dense forest. The park contains multiple river sections and camping areas distributed along the waterway for different visitor experiences.

The park was established in 1969 to protect the river landscape and limestone formations from development. This action preserved a significant natural area for future generations.

The land belongs to the Gunditjmara People, whose deep connection to this place remains alive today. Parks Victoria partners with them to maintain the natural landscape and share their knowledge.

The park is accessible by car with several camping grounds like Battersby and McLennans Punt offering facilities and accommodation. Visit during warmer months when river conditions are best for fishing and water activities.

The park contains the Princess Margaret Rose Cave system with intricate limestone formations shaped over millions of years. These underground caves reveal the geological story of the region in a remarkable way.
