In touch with nature
The Loddon Valley is known as Victoria’s backyard for good reason, and visitors are encouraged to switch off and reconnect with nature. Visit Mount Hope and Pyramid Hill, stunning natural wonders in the northern reaches. Take to a canoe or kayak to explore the natural beauty of the Loddon Valley with canoe hire and water trails around the northern oasis township of Boort. Boort Lakes Holiday Park offers canoe and kayak hire for paddling on the spectacular Little Lake Boort and other key locations.
