Tremont

Tremont’s convenient location means it lies in proximity to some of the most exciting natural attractions. The park is famous for its towering mountain ash forests on the rolling hills, its bio-diverse wildlife and its scenic views. There are lots of recreational activities to enjoy while in town.

Cycling is a popular way to explore Tremont’s delightful nooks and crannies. Cyclists are welcome to use the network of cycling tracks that wind through the expansive park. The popular 1000 Steps trail that leads up to One Tree Hill is an amazing picturesque destination for those wanting a challenging hike.

Once you get to the top of the 1000 Steps, you can relax at the One Tree Hill Picnic Ground.
