Start of Brisbane Valley Rail Trail

Highlight • Trail

From here to Fernvale is easy, with the first few kilometres concrete shared path. Then it turns to gravel. As you move further along past Fernvale and towards Esk you start getting more low gradient hills, but it is still relatively easy for a loaded touring bike. Easier still on an unloaded gravel or mountain bike. A lot of people use eBikes as well. There are some deep gullies into creek beds further out but there have been some new bridges put in now that make life simple. On a self supported ride it might be best to walk the bike in and out of these. Hard work, but much safer.
