Adventure time: Lamerough Creek Walk, Pelican Waters

A peaceful 4km walk meandering alongside Lamerough Creek through the Lamerough Creek West Environmental Reserve. This gorgeous little trail will come as a surprise to many, hidden in the middle of Pelican Waters!

Suitability

An easy trail with a wide gravel path suitable for all ages and abilities to walk or ride. Accessible to wheelchairs and prams. Dogs allowed on leash.

Highlights

This hidden little gem will see you walking through a woodland of paperbarks and eucalypts with sedges along the creek side. The area is habitat for a diverse population of water fowl and you may see the blue water lily in flower. Keep your eye out for a variety of birds such as wrens, honeyeaters and doves.

You can start either end of the walk. The southern end has a space for at least four cars and the northern end has an open field suitable to kick and play and an undercover picnic table nearby. Up and back the linear walk will take about an hour at a relaxing pace. There are two linear off-shoots you can take if you are looking to extend your walking time. There are two additional undercover picnic tables (three in total) and a viewing platform looking over the creek.

Afterwards

Golden Beach town is less than five minutes drive away. Why not stop at one of the cute cafes? Or get take-away chips and sit down by the esplanade.

How to get there

This linear track has two possible starting points. The southern end can be accessed by taking the west exit on the Pelican Waters Boulevard / Tweddell Drive roundabout – north of Caloundra City Private School. The northern end can be accessed from the northern end of Tweddell Drive.
