On a 4 km circuit hike, I parked at the gate on Stephen Track, climbed the summit, then descended to the Water Point on the Yarra River, opposite the Bend of Islands.
From there, I explored a seldom visited, un-named and unsigned foot-track to the north, in dense bushland along the river bank.
After reaching a point where this track became overgrown I returned to the Water Point, then along the recognized Mt Lofty River Track to the Mt Lofty Canoe Launching Ramp, at the end of Lower Homsetead Rd. From there, I returned to the car.
The views from the summit are tremendous, looking across the Yarra Valley to the Yarra Ranges and the Dandenongs.
The summit is 107 m above sea lavel - the base is at 62 m.
The full set of Photos show the Views, the Tracks, the Yarra, the Summit, the Water Point, and the Boardwalk.
