3.8km
Trail type
Skill Level
One-way Length
One-way
A great 3.8 km circuit alongside both sides of Currimundi Lake and the beach at the end.
SUITABILITY
Suitable for walkers and is an easy grade. Cyclists can do most of the circuit (out and back) except the beach crossing at the end.
HIGHLIGHTS
Anyone who loves sand and water will enjoy this 4 km (approx.) circuit. The majority of the track is lakeside with sections through coastal bushlands on the southern and northern sides of the lake. You cross over the lake via the pedestrian path on the bridge on the western end and walk across the beach on the eastern coast side where there is a beautiful open beach.
The great thing about this the walk is you can take your shoes off and get back to your car with a river crossing and the sand in your toes. Watch for wildlife and birds such as Osprey. Vegetation varies throughout the catchment and includes melaleuca wetlands, eucalypt woodland and patches of littoral rainforest.
TAKE CARE
Bring Bug spray. Currimundi carparking can be congested at times.
AFTERWARDS
When you are finished, enjoy a protected lake swim in sheltered waters. Plus, there are coffee shops and eateries at Currimundi. This is a great place to go any time of day. Toilets, BBQs, benches and small grass areas abound.
HOW TO GET THERE
To the starting point: There are numerous starting points east of Nicklin Way. On the southern side of the lake you can park on Westaway Parade either near the surf beach or part way along at near Frank McIvor Park or other side streets in between. On the northern side you can find a spot on Coongarra Esplanade.
To the end point: This is a circular route with the end point being the same as your starting point.

A great walk, and fantastic end of trip facilities - especially if you have children (with children who are "busting" after a walk when you told them to use the toilet before you leave home/car)! The lake is fantastic from small children (even under 2) all the way to about 12 years of age in that it is nice and shallow and yet the kids still love it. Fantastic coffee shops and a very family friendly relaxed place to visit.
