Black Range State Park (11 700 hectares) and the surrounding area provide for excellent bushwalking. A long walk commences at the Black Range Picnic Area and leads to the top of the Black Range providing excellent views. The walk continues south along the range to Muirfoot Track. More adventurous walkers can choose to continue along Muirfoot Track to a walking track leading to Mount Byron (an elevation of 520 metres) or return to the picnic area.
The rugged sandstone cliffs of the Black Range, spring wildflowers and the sense of Aboriginal history complement more active recreational pursuits available within the areas adjacent to the park.
Rocklands Reservoir, which abuts the Park to the south-east, offers camping, a range of water based activities including boating and fishing, with Redfin predominating.
The Grampians State Forest and Claude Austin State Forest, which surround much of the park, also offer a range of recreational opportunities from camping to bushwalking and nature study.
There are camping areas in the forests surrounding the park are at Fergusons, Henrys Inlet, Glendinning, Mountain Dam and Brodies.
