Leaghur State Park

Is located on the Loddon River floodplain in the state's north-west and protects some of the most significant black box wetland and woodland communities in Victoria.

Take time to stroll through the black box woodlands off some of the tracks. The sparse understorey makes walking easy.

Flora & Fauna - The open woodlands and seasonal wetlands support fauna typical of dry habitats as well as wetland fauna such as waterbirds and amphibians. The great egret and the grey-crowned babbler, both listed as threatened, are among the 95 native bird species that have been recorded in the park

Excess flooding regimes appear to favour river red gum and lignum but can lead to the death of black box. The park has numerous small floodways and channels which flow during the wetter months and enter Lake Meran to the north reducing long term water detention times.The park also contains a small stand of white cypress pine - buloke woodland
