As a result of feedback received from the community, 16km of new trails have been developed at Wivenhoe Hill. The multi-use trails offer mountain bike riders, horse riders, walkers and trail runners spectacular views of Lake Wivenhoe.

About Lake WivenhoeThere are a range of recreational activities and facilities available at Lake Wivenhoe, located approximately 80 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. The lake is also part of South East Queensland’s interconnected bulk water supply network that supplies the region’s drinking water.

The Wivenhoe Dam was built on the Brisbane River and completed in 1984. The dam wall is 2.3 kilometres long, with five radial gates to release water. The lake’s primary function is to provide safe, reliable water supply and is also used for flood mitigation.

Finding your way to Wivenhoe HillThe Wivenhoe Hill 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.
