* Walking tracks are the only facilities. Note that fires and camping are not permitted in the reserve.
Heritage
Today, mallee vegetation is widespread in Victoria's dry north-west, but some thousands of years ago, during a warmer and drier period, it extended much farther south. Subsequent climatic changes favoured other vegetation such as box and stringybark eucalypts and the Long Forest is now the only naturally occurring mallee south of the Great Dividing Range.
Looking after the park
* All plants and animals are protected. Do not disturb or remove them
* Vehicles, dogs, cats and firearms are not permitted in the reserve
* Fires and camping are not permitted
* Take your rubbish with you
