Ewen Maddock Dam - Trail 1
Sunshine Coast
Menu
GPS Tracks
This is a great family walk. The first part follows the edge of the lake, while the remainder moves out into the surrounding woodland, where you will see a mixture of Rough, Scribbly and Paperbark trees. There is plenty of bird life both on the dam and in the woodland. The path is generally shady and can be muddy after rain, with parts of it shared with bikes and horse riders.
Getting there:
From the Bruce Highway, turn onto Steve Irwin Way and turn onto the Mooloolah Valley Connection Road. Turn left into the Maddock Park's car park (approx 1.5km).

Route/Trail notes:
The clear, well trodden No. 1 Trail, at 9.3km one way, starts at Maddock Park and finishes at Gympie Street North. Each kilometre is marked up to the 5km point, so you can turn around at anytime to make this walk as long as you wish. You also have the chance to come back via one of the smaller tracks on your return leg. Just keep an eye out for horses and bike riders, as it is a shared track.
Permits/Costs:
None.
Other Comments:
Bring your swimmers, as there is the opportunity to cool off in the dam after your walk at the 'beach' area in Maddock Park.
