Adventure: Currimundi South Arm Loop

A great little loop around one of the back arms of Currimundi Lake, just what you need to keep the children entertained these school holidays. Plus, this trail can cop a bit of a soaking and still be in good condition to walk on soon after.

A fabulous 3.8 km circuit that takes you to one of the back arms of the Currimundi Lake, perfect to keep the kids occupied and active these holidays. This route is also pretty good following a dose of rain or you might want to file it away for a sunny day.

Suitability

Suitable for a walk or ride with the kids (though the track along the water may not be ideal for bikes or prams). The footpath runs parallel with the track. Some of the walk is on neighbourhood roads without pathways, but plenty of wide grassed areas.

Highlights

The main highlight of this experience is the bush track along Currimundi Lake, where the more adventurous kids can ride in the dirt. A terrific place for a rest break, a spot to go fishing or to just sit on one of the many benches and enjoy the lake environment. 

There are also multiple parks along the route for the kids to stop and have a play.

The walk is dog friendly, on a leash, and there is a fenced dog park area, providing a safe place to let Fido have a run.

The great thing about this the walk is you can extend the river section all the way to the river mouth by continuing east along the riverside pathway to the end and crossing Nicklin Way.

Note - Mosquitoes can be a problem, so be prepared with insect repellent.
