- Silo Art Trail: Rupanyup is the southernmost point of the major Silo Art Trail, which stretches approximately 200 kilometres. The park serves as an excellent base for day trips to view the other silo artworks in nearby towns such as Sheep Hills, Brim, Rosebery, Lascelles, and Patchewollock. The distance to these depends on the specific town along the trail, requiring driving for exploration of the full trail.
