The Hummocks Walking Track is a scenic bushwalk in Lakes Entrance, East Gippsland, Victoria. It winds through coastal forest and low hills known as “the hummocks” offering spectacular views over the ocean, beach, and Lakes Entrance township. It’s a perfect short-to-medium walk for visitors wanting a blend of native bush, beach, and ocean views. We were also lucky to see seals while we were there.
How to Get There
We parked on the main road near the Cunninghame Arm Foot Bridge. This section of the road has many parking spots although it would become crowded during school holidays. From here we walked over the foot bridge to the start of the walk.
The Walking Track
The track meanders through sand dunes with some areas paved, but most made of sand. In several areas steps lead up and down steeper sections of the walk. Walking along the track, you pass through coastal eucalypt forest, with species like stringybark, tea tree, and banksias. The walk is about five and a half kilometres return (from where we parked), taking around 60 to 90 minutes.
We took longer as we stayed around the far end where the lake meets the ocean. Seals were playing in the area, catching fish and having a great time. This really added to the fun of the walk and was definitely the highlight.
What Did We Think?
The Hummocks Walking Track is an easy walk, and we enjoyed the ocean views, quiet bushland, and the seals. If you are spending time in Lakes Entrance and enjoy a scenic, non-crowded hiking experience this is worth doing.
