The Trail
This 1km, very easy graded trail is a brilliant place to stop and explore while travelling on the Lyell Highway. Meandering through lush temperate rainforest populated with stunning myrtle and sassafras trees the trail passes two rivers; The Franklin River and the Surprise River.
In addition to the beautiful trail, BBQ and toilet facilities are also available near the main carpark.
