The ‘Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk’
Take this 58 kilometre long world-class bushwalk traversing Kondalilla National Park, Mapleton Falls National Park, Delicia Road Conservation Park and Mapleton Forest Reserve. Campsites and basic facilities are provided enroute. At its southern end, the walk allows adventurous walkers to detour from the track and enjoy a canoeing experience along ‘The Narrows’ - a route that follows the creek line and links a series of rock pools (best travelled on an inflatable raft).
