Be Bushfire Smart

The park, which was proclaimed in January 1986, encompasses the fine scenery of the Tyers Gorge where the Tyers River winds between steep forested slopes. Outcrops of limestone and conglomerate are of considerable geological interest. The limestone contains both plant and animal fossils.

• Scenic drives, bushwalks, picnicking, swimming, camping, fishing and nature study are some of the more popular activities at Tyers Park.
• Spring (the main wildflower season) and autumn are popular times to visit but the park has plenty to offer throughout the year.
• A walking track has been constructed along the Tyers River running from the Moondarra Reservoir south through the park. To walk the full length of the track takes about five hours.
• Peterson's Lookout is a crag of conglomerate rock which overlooks the Tyers Gorge and provides fine views of the Tyers River and the gorge, as well as the Latrobe Valley.

• A lookout is provided but there are no picnic or toilet facilities in Tyers Park.
• There is no camping in Tyers Park, however, campers can use Connan Park Scout Camp which is adjacent to the park.
• Motel accommodation and caravan parks with on-site facilities are available in nearby Rawson and Erica. Eat-in and take-away meals are available in both towns.

The park is also home to a regionally important Lime Kiln and associated quarry which supplied lime and building materials to various locations across Central and South Gippsland.

Since the early 1970's, Peterson's Lookout has been a popular point of interest to the Latrobe Valley Field Naturalists.
