Arthurs Seat State Park offers a wide variety of recreational activities which include walking, jogging, photography, nature study, picnicking and mountain biking. The park's most popular attraction is Arthurs Seat summit, where visitors can take in the stunning views while enjoying a picnic or barbecue.

There are many other walking tracks across the park that provide visitors with the opportunity to explore the park and appreciate its wide variety of flora and fauna.
THE GONDOLAS
Arthurs Seat Eagle is an aerial gondola system, which is supported and propelled by cables from above. It consists of a loop of steel cable that is strung between two stations, over 11 supporting towers. The cable is driven by a bullwheel (a large pulley) at the base and summit stations, connected to an electric motor.
The flight carries passengers between the Base Station in Dromana to the summit of Arthurs Seat, passing high over the beautiful Arthurs Seat State Park. The lift has the ability to travel at a maximum speed of 3m/s (10.8kph) but we generally run it at 1.5m/s (5.4kph) so guests can enjoy the view.
The Eagle is all inclusive and caters to the disabled, elderly, frail and toddlers. It is wheelchair and pram friendly. A combination of enclosed and open cabins provides an all-weather experience for passengers.
