Itinerary description
North of Toowoomba, bordered to the south by the Esk Hampton Road, you will find Deongwar State Forest. The forest has little signage and no known visitor facilities. The forest has several tracks through it including part of the Bicentennial National Trail (BNT).
This particular track is easily accessible from the main road and heads almost directly north to the edge of forest with views of the southern-most tip of Cressbrook Dam. The track is pretty easy going, accessible by All-wheel-drive vehicles with some ground clearance (e.g. X-trail). After rain there will be some muddy spots along the way. The track is well defined, but is encroached by lantana and other vegitation in places, so be prepared for light scratches and possibly stopping to remove vegetation.
On some maps the track is shown as a loop, however at the bottom there is an area to turn around and the continuation of the track drops over a steep slope and appears unused.
There are tracks diverging to the side in several places, but some are overgrown and disused making progress slow. Other than the delights of nature and the occasional beehive, there are few sights to be seen along this track.

Easy track for a standard high clearance 4x4. Some unmarked off track bush walking uses this track as described in the book 'Bush Walks in the Toowoomba Region'
Easy but get ready to get scratches on the paintwork as you go past the branches. Whoever left their beer cans at the campfire loop - hope you clean up after yourself next time.
