A beautiful location to unwind, gather and play.

Situated alongside the stunning Lerderderg River, the Blackwood Mineral Springs Reserve is a beautiful location to unwind, gather and play. Explore one of the long or short walking tracks, sample the mineral water or enjoy a leisurely picnic. Then take a walk across the foot bridge for the views down the creek, be sure to keep an eye out for the resident Kookaburras. A small entry fee applies to assist with the maintenance of the BBQ, picnic tables and toilets on site. Dogs are welcome but they must be kept on leads at all times.

There are two mineral springs linked by a footbridge. The first footbridge was constructed in 1910, it was a picturesque wooden suspension bridge and remained in place until 1967 when it was replaced by the present steel and concrete footbridge.

The spring on the northern side of the Lerderderg River, ie you have go across the bridge to access it, known as Blackwood Spring, was the first to be developed in 1887 with a rotunda built over it in 1891. The second spring known as Soda Spring had a rotunda built over it in 1914.
