Scenic Lake & Dam Walks

Around Brisbane

Here are 5 picturesque and easy walking trails to enjoy along the shores of beautiful lakes and dams that are all within an hour of Brisbane:

North Lakes

North Lakes Environmental Park is like a mini-Kakadu in Brisbane - a protected wetland eco-system home to 29 species of native birds

The Lake Parklands is an idyllic spot to enjoy nature, with plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds dotted alongside picturesque Forest Lake.

This easy grade scenic walk of around 1.5km circumnavigates the town lake, via boardwalks, parks and playgrounds and bird hides and is suitable for wheelchairs, prams, bikes and scooters.
