Noosa Trails

Noosa Trail Network

The Noosa Trail Network comprises eight picturesque hinterland trails, suitable for walking, horseriding or mountain biking. The spectacular countryside trails are well signposted and range in length and difficulty. Detailed trail information and maps are available from the Noosa Trail Network Brochure.

The trail passes through National Park, State Forest, private property, council parks and road reserves. Trail bike riders, 4WDs and dogs are not permitted on many sections of the trails.

The ground has been minimally modified, and encounters with fallen debris, holes, rocks, mud and grass is to be expected. Both horses and riders must be experienced. Neither the land owner or the local council accept any legal responsibility for any injury incurred to those while using the trail.

The Noosa Trail Network Interpretative Guide is designed to take with you as you meander the trails. It explains the sights, smells and sounds you can experience on the trail, giving you a greater understanding of Noosa's beautiful environment.

Noosa Bird Trail

Due to its rich diversity of habitat South-east Queensland, and the Noosa region in particular, is a haven for birdlife.

The Noosa Bird Trail is a guide to sites which have been selected for their importance to wildlife and suitability for birdwatching. These habitats are under immense threat from development and patches of vegetation are being fragmented and isolated daily. It is hoped this trail will assist the conservation of these and other important areas, thereby enhancing Noosa's environmental reputation by promoting birdwatching activities, environmental education and economic opportunity.

You can get up close and personal with Noosa hinterland’s beautiful birds while walking the Noosa Trail Network. Avid bird watchers can also follow the Noosa Bird Trail, seven sites of which are located on the Noosa Trail Network. Download Sunshine Coast Council's brochure Bird Observing in the Noosa Trail Network or Noosa Parks Association’s Noosa Bird Trail to help you locate and identify the many different birds that live throughout the trail network. Further information is also available from the Noosa Bird Trail website.
