Messmate Trail is a relatively short track that winds through eucalypt forest and low ridgelines, typically accessed from the Crystal Brook or Kangaroo Flat picnic areas. The track forms part of several easy loop options (roughly 3–5 kilometres depending on the route) and includes gentle climbs, open grassy sections, and occasional views toward the reservoir. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly walk with well-formed paths, plenty of wildlife sightings, and also connects with the nearby Tea Tree Trail for a longer circuit.
