• Brambuk - The National Park and Cultural Centre - Brambuk provides fantastic visitor information and educational displays for people looking to explore the Grampians region. Brambuk brings to life the history and culture of the Jardwadjali, Djab Wurrung and aboriginal communities of south-western Victoria.
• Halls Gap Playground and Picnic Area - This pretty park is located right in the heart of Halls Gap, is surrounded by spectacular mountain views and located right across from the town's shops. 
• Lake Wartook - A huge, majestic lake surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Grampians National Park. Located on the MacKenzie River, which is famous for its impressive array of waterfalls, Lake Wartook is a popular destination for boating and fishing. 

You want to go for a walk but... a really short walk.

• Grand Canyon Loop Walk - The Grand Canyon is a remarkable rocky gorge situated within the majestic Wonderland Range of the Grampians National Park. This 900m circuit walk offers awe-inspiring scenery and and a seasonal waterfall.
• Splitters Falls - With a walk starting from the same carpark as the aforementioned Grand Canyon, Splitters Falls is a stunning seasonal waterfall, best viewed in spring when wildflowers decorate the landscape and after rains for reliable water flow. This 1.4 km return walking track travels over rocky terrain, through a gorge and up some stairs before continuing alongside the gorgeous creek to Splitters Falls.
• The Balconies - Perhaps one of the most iconic views in the Grampians, The Balconies is a spectacular lookout accessed by an easy 2 km return walk. From the parking area, an easy stroll takes you along a well formed gravel track to the lookout as you pass gorgeous scenery, fascinating rock formations, and sweeping views along the way.
• Reeds Lookout - Sharing the same carpark as The Balconies, an extremely short (but fairly steep) walk up a hill brings you to the spectacular Reeds Lookout. 
• Gulgurn Manja Shelter - A beautiful Aboriginal rock art site, accessed via an easy 1km return walk through gorgeous scenery with incredible views up to the surrounding rocky cliffs and ridges. 
• Heatherlie Quarry - During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, large amounts of high quality freestone were carved from the slopes of the Mount Difficult Range at Heatherlie Quarry. Many features of the quarry remain today, including machinery, powder magazine, power plant, rail tracks and stone cottages. A short, easy 2.4 km return walking track takes you to the site of the quarry. Detailed information signs are located alongside significant areas making this a very interesting, educational place to visit. 
• Venus Baths - An easy, family-friendly 2.3 km circuit walk takes you along Stoney Creek to the natural rock pools at Venus Baths. Stunning rock formations and scenery along the walk add to the allure of this beautiful place.
• Silverband Falls - A beautiful seasonal waterfall, accessed by an easy 1.4 km return walk. This is an interesting spot as the water plunges down and disappears into the rocks at the base of the falls, travelling underground until the creek resurfaces about 50 metres away. The waterfall was named by European Settlers in the 1800's, as the stunning stream of water resembles a silver band.
• Broken Falls - The Broken Falls lookout is accessed via a walking track from the MacKenzie Falls carpark on Wartook Road. An easy stroll through pretty scenery quickly brings you to the viewing platform. From the Broken Falls viewing platform you can either return to the car park or continue along the track and down to MacKenzie Falls (a fairly short walk, but involves lots of very steep stairs... up to you).
• Zumsteins Picnic Area and Historical Site - A short circuit walk takes you through the Zumsteins Historical Area, with educational signs at various points along the way. You can also take a short stroll along the banks of the MacKenzie River along a beautiful wooden boardwalk to a viewing platform, which overlooks a pretty section of the river where the water rushes over rows of rocks.
