Ramms Road Trail (East of M1)

Highlights

This is an approximate 15 km circuit mostly through sections of forestry. Note that over the time the descriptions might not completely align with the route due to felling of trees.

For the first 3km you ride through a pine forestry till you come to a large clearing where the pine trees have been felled. Continue on the trail heading due east through the clearing for another approx .3 km. During this section if you look around you will see views to the Glass House Mountains to the west. Along this section of the trail the path dips down slowly and there are watering holes along a creek for your horses. You then continue on through the forestry for about another 1 km till you come to a T-intersection with an unnamed forestry road that borders pineapple farms. Turn left and follow that trail for about 2 km. There is plantation on your left and wallum on your right. Be mindful of mosquitos as there are a lot of paper bark tress in water for about 400 metres. This stretch of water leads to the Pumicestone Passage. That trail continues around till you come to a boundary with farms on your right. Follow the road west as it meanders through the plantation till you come back to your starting point. It is not signed you just have to follow your nose.

While this route is highly suited for horse-riders and mountain bikers, be aware that trail bike riders and 4WD vehicles may also be on the path.

How to get there

To the starting point: From Beeburrum, when you are on the Steve Irwin Way, turn into Red Road (right opposite Beeburrum Road.) There is a sign for Red Road atop of the Mt Beerburrum Lookout Sign. Head east on Red Road for about 3.5 km over the M1 overpass and then about 100 m later turn left into Ramms Road and follow the road down past the poultry farm. At the end of the poultry farm are large gas tanks (inside the fence) and there is a wide area on the road to turn around and park horsefloats.

To the end point. The end point is the same as the starting point.
