197 Paperbark Forest Boardwalk (GPX)

*** The Paperbark Forest Walk is closed. Reedy Creek Reserve is a small conservation area which unfortunately become overwhelmed by visitors, to the point where the walk, the forest and wetlands were being damaged. Literally thousands of people were visiting the site, ignoring the signage and causing the walk, the road and car park to become a foot and vehicle traffic jam. Please do no attempt to access the boardwalk or enter the reserve. ***

This short trail is an exciting walk for all the family, with stepping stones, boardwalks and water crossings as you meander through a magnificent and picturesque Paperbark Forest.

Must see stop while in Agnes Water. Highly recommend going near the end of the day so you see the shifting light in what is a magical piece of forest.

Short but stunning walk

Very quick and easy but a lot of fun with a boardwalk and stepping stones etc. Did this one prior to our stay at Horizons Kangaroo sanctuary

OMG! Can't remember ever being in a Paperbark Forest. How spectacular. And the day I was there, it was being used as the backdrop for a couple's wedding photos after they were married on the beach at Agnes Water; watched both.
