The signed entrance to Peak Hill is nine km up Algidus Road. There is a sign and a marked easement over private land, which will take you to the summit along an unformed route. The walk is suitable for family groups.
The walk to Peak Hill is extremely exposed to the weather and walkers should be well equipped.
