Gold Creek Reservoir

Nice quite place, 4.5km walking track goes around the lake. Would be nice if we could swim in it. The drive out was our favourite part. There is toilets and one picnic table. And not alot of shade.

Easy parking . Beautiful spot with picnic grounds but only 1 picnic table . Steep hill to get to the view of the dam . Toilets . Access to a few hikes .

Peaceful place with birds a plenty! The main loop around the reservoir was easily worn, easy to follow. Toilets at the beginning. Ample parking. This place has become my new fav

Great hike, about 2 hours taking it at a moderate pace with a few stops. Most confusing track sections are at beginning and about two thirds of the way around in a clockwise walking direction. Lots of birds to see and hear. Moderately hilly workout.

Interesting short walk from carpark to the reservoir that includes a pedestrian bridge over the creek to a pumping station. From there go left to a picnic table and toilets, only 50 metres or so. Or turn right at the pumping station, to follow a steep, rough vehicle track for 150 metres to the top of the resevoir wall. Good view overlooking the resevoir, the intake tower and spillway. From here you can do a 2 hour trek around the dam, easiest to walk clockwise, along the top of the dam wall. The circular trek is quite nice, though climbs a bit over the second half. After heavy or prolonged rain the track will be quite boggy in parts, especially at the fartherest (west) end of the lake. Good walking boots advised.

A great place for a picnic and birdwatching. Not far from Brisbane. Swimming is not recommended due to algae in the water.There is a circuit around the reservoir, which is about 5km and takes roughly 2 hours to complete.Walking back along the road from the carpark is also nice, as there are plenty of streams and wildlife to see.

Great walk in peaceful surroundings. Follow the path with an easy side on the left turning to a harder set tion in the right. Easy hike

A walk around the lake is lovely. It takes 1,5-2 hours and you can hear all kinds of birds and see lots of native plants on the way.Don’t bring your pet. Dogs are not allowed. Swimming in reservoir is not permitted as well.
