Things to see and do
* Walking, picnicking, sightseeing and nature study are the most popular activities
* The Giant's Circuit walk follows an old tramline route along Lorkin Creek to the Standing Giant, a huge mountain ash 7m in circumference and probably more than 300 years old. The track continues through giant tree ferns and back to the carpark - a total distance of 1.8 kilometres
* Other walking tracks lead to old sawmill sites where sawdust heaps and other relics can be seen. The Moonlight Creek Track has gentle grades for the first kilometre and is suitable for people with limited mobility
* Two lookouts on McDonald's Track give panoramic views over the Latrobe River valley, the Great Dividing Range and Westernport Bay.
Camping in Mt Worth State Park is not permitted, but you can camp south of the park in the Tarwin River Reserve. There are hotels, motels and caravan parks in nearby towns. Farm accommodation is available at Yarragon and Allambee.
