The Mount Worth State Park protects some 1000 hectares of natural forest in the Western Strzelecki Ranges. It provides an opportunity to view the forest that once covered Gippsland. The park is covered with tall, wet forest of mountain ash, manna gum, blue gum and mountain grey gum with an understorey of blackwood, silver wattle, sassafras and dense fern filled gullies. The park is also rich in bird and animal life; lyrebirds are common in gullies and crimson rosellas and grey butcher birds too. Wallabies, wombats and echidnas may also be seen.

The walk is approximately 12 kms.  It can be muddy and slippery in places and some steep patches – ascent of 280m.  Walking poles are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.  Wet weather gear also recommended even if there is no rain forecast as the ferny undergrowth may be wet.
