The Beechworth Forest Drive begins from the town and passes through the peppermint forest near Lake Kerferd. The 5km Gorge Scenic Drive, also a pleasant walk, provides views of waterfalls and rugged countryside west of the town. It also passes the restored powder magazine, built to safeguard mining explosives.
At Woolshed Falls, a self-guided historic walk of about an hour follows a scenic track through the Reids Creek goldfield. Eroded gullies indicate various mining activities.
