Starting from the Walnut Paddock car park on The Valley Road, Belair National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit along Minno Creek via The Valley Loop. The Valley Loop follows Minnow Creek between Long Gully and the Adventure Playground, encompassing the shorter Heritage Tree Walk. The trail meanders along the forested banks and lower slopes of the creek, passing a lookout with interpretive signage at the Railway Dam, where ducks can be spotted. On the other side of the creek, the trail follows the contour of the hill just above The Valley Road, passing the Joseph Fisher picnic area. This loop consists of gently sloping gravel trails, suitable for families, prams and most fitness levels, and can be done in either direction. Some sections along the northeastern side of the creek can get muddy after rainfall. Children should be supervised near the dam wall, which can be slippery. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
