Lakes Entrance - Jemmys Point Loop Trail

Jemmys Point Loop Walking Trails and Lookout Stage 2 are complete.

The completion of the Jemmys Point Stage 2 lookout and loop walking trail was celebrated on Wednesday 4 September 2024 at Rotary Park.

The new recreation facilities, loop walking trail and viewing platform in Lakes Entrance has provided several benefits to the community.

These facilities now serve as a gathering place for the community, promoting social interactions and cohesion. Residents and visitors can enjoy outdoor activities, fostering a healthier lifestyle and enhancing well-being.

About the Project

Jemmy’s Point (Kalimna, Lakes Entrance) is a lookout area that provides spectacular 270-degree panoramic views of the Gippsland Lakes, the Entrance, Bass Strait and 90 Mile Beach.

Council secured funding from the Commonwealth for a range of new works to improve the visitor experience for locals and tourists in Kalimna. Part of the works involve the creation of a loop walking trail linking key attractions in Kalimna - the lookout on Hotel Road, Kalimna Jetty, Jemmy’s Point and Jemmy’s Point Reserve.

The proposed works will improve accessibility and safety for walkers, as well as offer great views over the Lakes, the Entrance and the ocean beyond. New signage and interpretive facilities will provide a more comprehensive and informative experience for visitors.

Kalimna Jetty Walk

The first stage of works is to upgrade the popular walking track from Kalimna Jetty to Jemmy’s Point. An improved gravel surface has been constructed together with the installation of rock to mitigate further erosion of the shoreline.

The Jemmy's Point Loop Trail is a component of Council's Jemmy's Point Stage 2 project. To read more on the overall Jemmy’s Point Stage 2 project, click here.
