Have you explored this scenic waterfront loop yet?
An easy, family‑friendly 4km waterfront loop offering peaceful views, shaded rest spots and optional extensions to nearby parks, beaches and cafés.
Looking for an easy, scenic outing the whole family will love? This rated‑EASY riverside loop between Mountain Creek and Warana is a local favourite – although some locals might wish we kept this gem a secret.
Suitability
Perfect for walkers, runners and recreational cyclists. Pram and wheelchair friendly, dog‑friendly (on lead) – easy all round.
Highlights
Also known as the Lake Kawana Loop, this peaceful 4km circuit takes you across the Mooloolah River via a cement causeway, with parklands on both sides. Despite being close to urban areas, it’s surprisingly tranquil.
Enjoy shaded rest stops with river views, and at the half‑way point, detour up to the bridge, cross at the roundabout and rejoin the path on the other side of the lake.
Afterwards
Keep exploring with more trails in Mooloolah River National Park, or head east to the nearby beaches for a swim, if it's not too cold!
You can also extend your walk another 1km to Double Bay Park for playgrounds, amenities, shelters and lovely waterfront cafés.
Getting there
From Kawana Way, turn west into Premier Circuit, then right at the T‑junction. Follow the road left – the walk starts at the park on the right. Street parking available.
