Between June and November, many roads in Victoria’s state forests are closed to protect the environment and the safety of visitors.
During these cooler months, sensitive environments and roads, tracks and trails become vulnerable to damage, particularly as they’re softened by heavy rain or snow.
To protect forests and limit access to areas that may become unsafe for visitors in wet weather, seasonal road closures are put in place by public land authorities.
Check the roads before you go
If you’re planning to visit a state forest, make sure you check which roads are closed on the More to Explore app. This will also show you the recreation sites that are impacted.
You can also view all Forest and road closures on our interactive map on the FFMVic website.
Information on general road closures can be found on the VicTraffic website.
