Itinerary description
The parks in the Victoria region are often linked with excellent connectors allowing you to hike from one park to the in a continuous line, These corridors are often narrow strips of land but the permit great hikes through an number of distinctive park areas. The Stewart, Scafe and Seymour Hike is an excellent example.
We spotted a car at Francis King Park on Munn Road and took the others along to the Mt Work South Parking lot about 10 km farther along Munn Road. Then we follower the Mt Work to Thetis connector and traversed Mt Stewart and Scafe Hill. Through Thetis Lake Park we took the MacKenzie Creek and Seaborn trails to Thetis Lake. Looping south we climbed to the viewpoint on Seymour Hill and returned via the trail on the backside. From there it was an easy hike back on the Panhandle Trail joining Thetis and Francis King Parks. The duration was about 6 hours including lunch and scenic viewpoint stops. It was a great day in mid October. The GPS recorded 14 km, an underestimate and about 3000 ft vertical, an overestimate. The trail profile is interesting as all the ups and downs are shown as well as the hills.
