Lake Wivenhoe – Wivenhoe Hills Trails Network (replacing Mt Cordeau & Bare Rock)

This walk will replace the planned Mt Cordeau & Bare Rock at Cunningham’s Gap.  This area of the Main Range is closed due to recent Bushfires.

The Wivenhoe Trails Network is a series of multi use trails at Lake Wivenhoe offering spectacular views of the Lake.  Four connecting trails are offered in the area including the Red, White, Blue and Black trails and the total distance of the Trails is approximately 16.7km.   The plan is to proceed along  the Blue Trail of 5 km length following the Lake around its southern side and explore the other trails within the recreational area.

Expect to see mountain bike riders, horse riders, walkers and trail runners on these paths.

Wivenhoe Dam was built on the Brisbane River in 1984.  It is part of South East Queensland’s water grid and the  Lake’s primary function is to provide a safe and reliable water supply.
