Centre Road Fire Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Centre Road Firetrail is a wide dirt and gravel route linking several sections of the park’s trail network. The firetrail moves through open eucalypt forest and rolling terrain, with a mix of gradual climbs and flatter stretches along the ridge lines. It’s shared by walkers, trail runners, mountain bikers, and horse riders, and is generally easy to follow due to its width and clear layout.

Nerang National Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Nerang National Park protects a large area of open eucalypt forest in Queensland’s Gold Coast hinterland, providing an important refuge for native wildlife close to urban areas. The park is best known for its extensive network of multi-use trails, popular for walking, horse riding and internationally recognised mountain-bike routes developed for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. There are several picnic areas and trailheads for easy access to the peaceful bushland that reflects the park’s distinctive dry forest environment.

Nerang National Park

Highlight • Forest

Located in the Gold Coast hinterland, Nerang National Park is made up of open eucalypt forest, dry bushland, and a large network of multi-use trails. The park is widely used for walking, trail running, and mountain biking, with routes ranging from wide fire trails to narrower singletrack. Compared to the nearby rainforest parks, the landscape here is drier and more exposed, with rolling terrain rather than steep climbs.
