Mount Cougal Trailhead Walk Carpark

Easy to get to the car park. Ignore the Wrong way

Beautiful and challenging walk. Hop over the locked fence, and then just keep the barbed wire fence (QLD/NSW border) on your left and you can't go wrong. No trail markers required.Be warned, this is in the upper range of tougher bushwalks. The start through sugar cane & bamboo is a tough uphill stretch and further up, some scrambling is required. A walking pole is recommended, particularly for the downhill. About 4-5 hours including water breaks.Worth it though - quiet and secluded in a beautiful part of Queensland. Plenty of interesting fauna including lace monitor and a red belly black. Did not go through cave at the very top as time was against us, but we'll be back to complete soon

Old walk for the willing

This is the start of a fantastic walk, if you love great views and are up for a challenge go for it.

have to pass locked gate to access trailhead, access road is in poor condition, track is not well marked, insufficient information for walkers.

Not the right way to get to Cougal Cascades.
