Eumundi Conservation Park: Ironbark Trail

Walking Mountain Biking Horse Riding4.9 kmEasyOne-way

A beautiful, challenging bushwalk trail.

Suitability

This walk is suitable for those familiar with trail walking, with some steep rises, rocky paths and creek beds in wetter months. The trail is also suitable for mountain bike riding and horse riding.

Highlights

The Ironbark Trail begins at the Seib Rd entrance and is a 5.1km walk one way. The trail snakes along an undulating, mostly rocky trail through the Eumundi Conservation Park, concluding at the North Arm Yandina Gate.

The trail is well marked and is shared between walkers, mountain bike riders and horse riders. During wetter months the numerous creeks flow freely, adding to the beauty and ambience of the walk.

Whilst walking under the enclosed tree canopy there is a plethora of birdlife, insects and native flora to inspect.

The Ironbark Trail also crosses the Geebung Circuit and Figbird Trail, so why not mix them up and enjoy the full range of trails on offer?

Afterwards

The nearby town of Eumundi is the perfect place to refuel and relax with several notable cafes with excellent coffee and one of the Sunshine Coast’s best playgrounds. Or if you have timed your trip well, the famous Eumundi Markets are an essential place to visit.

How to get there

To Start: Via either the Bruce Highway or Emu Mountain Rd, turn onto Eumundi Noosa Rd and then Seib Rd. The access point is via Verrierdale-Forest Rd.

To End: The end point is the North Arm Yandina Creek Road Gate.
