Mitta Mitta: Walking Trails, Golf and Local Cuisine

Mitta Mitta offers several distinct reasons to visit: hiking the Mt Welcome Hike or in Deep Gully, golfing at Magorra Recreational Reserve, activities at Snowy Creek, and a visit to Mitta Mitta Brewing Co. The options vary in their starting points and scenery, as well as in the type of leisure activity—from a walk through temperate rainforest vegetation to golf, swimming, barbecuing and dining out.

Hiking around Mitta Mitta

The Mt Welcome Hike starts at Historic Park Reserve in Mitta Mitta. When starting in the town of Mitta Mitta, the hike is accessible by two-wheel-drive vehicles. The reserve has parking, picnic tables and an exhibition of old mining equipment. This means the starting point offers more than a trailhead: picnic tables provide a place to take a break at the reserve, and the exhibition focuses on old mining equipment.

The Deep Gully Walk passes through Deep Gully, which has temperate rainforest vegetation. While the Mt Welcome Hike starts at Historic Park Reserve and offers the facilities there, the Deep Gully Walk is distinguished by its vegetation. When choosing between the hikes, you can therefore weigh whether the starting point with its parking, picnic tables and exhibition, or the rainforest setting is the deciding factor for your outing.

Golf and activities at Snowy Creek

Golf adds a different activity to the hiking options. Magorra Recreational Reserve has a 9-hole-(X2)-par-72 golf course. If golf is a focus of your trip, you can include this course as a standalone point of interest in your plans. Golf can therefore be the deciding factor if you don’t want to plan your time in Mitta Mitta around hiking alone.

There is a swimming hole at Snowy Creek behind the Mitta Pub, and a barbecue area is also located at Snowy Creek behind the pub. This means there are two different options at this point of interest: swimming and barbecuing. If you want to include time by the water and a meal at the barbecue area in your stay, these activities are clearly different from a hike or a round of golf. As both are located behind the Mitta Pub, you can group them as a creek-focused part of your day’s plans.

Brewery and cuisine

In Mitta Mitta, the taproom at Mitta Mitta Brewing Co. offers a selection of house-brewed beers. The kitchen serves fresh, tasty, handmade meals. The beer selection and the food appeal to different interests, but are part of the same business; you can therefore include the brewery as a dining option alongside hiking, golf and activities at Snowy Creek. Business details may change, so check the brewery’s current information before visiting.

Using activities to guide your hotel search

If hiking is your focus, weigh the starting point and facilities at Mt Welcome against the vegetation in Deep Gully. Golf, activities at the creek or the brewery offer a different focus. Consider which part of your itinerary is central to your overnight stay, and use that to guide your search in Mitta Mitta.
