One big loop (Enoggera Reservoir, Mount Coot-tha, JC Slaughter and Gold Creek Reservoir (from Enoggera Reservoir)

This is a massive walk starting from Walkout Creek Discovery Centre (60 Mount Nebo Rd, Enoggera Reservoir QLD 4520). Water is available on all areas except for the leg between Gap Creek Reserve and Enoggera Reservoir. There is no drinkable water at Gold Creek Reservoir. I designed this loop as I wanted to walk a marathon in the bushland within Brisbane.

Trails used in Mount Coot-Tha are Boscombe Road trail, Goanna trail, (Gap Creek Reserve Picnic Area), Bellbird trail, Kamala trail, Honeyeater track.

You can stop briefly at the Summit for a break. Return via Mahogany track, Powerful Owl (Channel 9 tower), Jacksonia track, Cockatoo trail, Goanna trail, Gold Creek trail.

Turn left on to South Boundary trail until you reach a sign for Hillbrook Road. Here you can have the option of walking and completing a lap of Gold Creek Reservoir or heading towards Enoggera Reservoir.

If you choose Gold Creek Reservoir, follow Hillbrook Road until you reach a T-intersection with Gold Creek Road. Turn right until you reach Gold Creek Reservoir. I walked the reservoir in a clockwise direction.

After completing the lap of Gold Creek Reservoir and walked across the bottom of the dam wall and crossed the walking bridge, turn right and head up the grassy hill. Follow Gold Creek trail until you reach the summit and a T-intersection. Turn right on to South Boundary Road. Follow this until you turn left on 69 track. The 69 track will merge into McDonalds Loop. Follow this until you reach a T-intersection and turn right onto Reservoir track. Follow this until you reach Walkout Creek Discovery Centre.

This track can be completed by walking or running.

Toilets located at Walkout Creek Discovery Centre, Gap Creek Reserve picnic area, Summit lookout. JC Slaughter Falls.

This track is rated medium/hard due to the distance.
