Devilbend Reservoir has many walking tracks showcasing a variety of landscapes from the large reservoir, to pine forests and walks alongside farms.  More information can be found on the Visit Mornington Peninsula website
There is lots to see including a variety of plants, bird life, the occasional animal, fungi and farms.
Note that in winter and after heavy rain the tracks can get quite sodden, even on occasions having to wade through water covering over your shoes.

The Catch Drain Trail will take you to Bittern Reservoir, where there is another loop walk around this body of water. Combining both trails together creates a walk of approximately 14.4km.

For a longer walk, extend your walk to take in some of the horse trails (includes a short walk along a quite gravel road)
There are many kilometres of trails around the Reservoir, including large loop trails that take you to Bittern Reservoir, or that incorporate horse trails and quiet gravel roads. The small shack below was photographed from one of the horse trails.
