West Ridge Walking Track
The West Ridge Walking Track begins at Lang's Lookout, passes Shepherd's Flat Lookout and Dog Rocks, before ending at the Leanganook Campground.
Lang's Lookout is the best starting point for this walk, as it is mostly downhill in this direction.
The walk can also be done in reverse, beginning at Leanganook Campground and ending at Lang's Lookout, but it will be an uphill walk in this case.
This walk is four kilometres each way and is of moderate difficulty.

It only takes a few moments to reach the lookout, which is down the slope to the right of the track.

Shepherd's Flat is an easy 330 metre walk from the roadside parking area.
Dog Rocks
Dog Rocks is a stunning granite outcrop within the Mount Alexander Regional Park which offers spectacular hillside views over Harcourt and the countryside beyond.

These rocks were given their name in 1846 by Lockhart Morton, manager of Sutton Grange station, after he observed many dingos frequenting the area.
