Other Trails

Besides the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, there are many other adventure opportunities to be had in Somerset.

The Wivenhoe Hill Trails
Wivenhoe Hill has four multi-use trails open to mountain bike riders, horse riders, walkers and trail runners. The trails offer spectacular views of Lake Wivenhoe. Each trail is identifiable by an individual colour and is displayed on totem poles along the trails to provide direction as shown in the below map. The trail entrance is located off Fig Tree Road, via the Hay Road exit on the Brisbane Valley Highway. Car and horse float parking is available at the trail entrance.
