Explore the bush tracks in this hinterland area as part of the Noosa Trail Network for mountain bikers, horse riders and walkers.

SUITABILITY
Suitable for walkers, recreational cyclists, mountain bikers and horse riders.

HOW TO GET THERE
To the starting point: On the coast side of Cooroy, take Elm Street North (runs parallel to the train lines). This road becomes the Old Bruce Highway. Stay on this road for about 3 km 1 then follow the signs to Pomona and Cooran. In Cooran, before you cross over the railway lines, turn left into Railway Road, then stay on this road as it turns into James Street and then Coles Creek Road. About 2 km along this road you will come to a dirt road on your left, Jampot Creek Road, where this trail begins.

To the end point: It's the same as your starting point. It's a combo there and back and circuit route.

HIGHLIGHTS
This red mapped route takes you along part of Trail 5 of The Noosa Trail Network (NTN), which is made up of eight scenic hinterland trails suitable for walking, horse riding or mountain biking. The spectacular countryside trails are well signposted, and vary in length and difficulty.

The NTN passes through national park, state forest, private property, council parks and road reserves. Trail bike riders, 4WDs and dogs are not permitted on many sections of the trails.

Trail 5 is a 8.8 km Trail from Cooran to Pomona, with wonderful views of Mount Cooran and the imposing Mount Cooroora, a 446m Volcanic plug right next to Pomona.

The trail as marked is a sub section and side variation of Trail 5. It is mainly open dry forest with some hills and fun little bits of single track, especially for mountain biking.

This trail can also be accessed from Jampot Creek Road near the Mount Cooroora car park on the Pomona side, for a longer adventure.

Aside from the NTN, there are multiple longer trails to be explored in Tuchekoi National Park, making this an ideal spot for those who want to get away from it all.

If Horse Riders decide to do the full Trail 5, then take care when crossing the railway lines at both Cooran and Pomona.

AFTERWARDS
Explore one of the other side trails within Tuchekoi National park – you may as well, you are right here.

The closeby vintage retro town of Cooran is definitely an added attraction with some great coffee shops and curios.

Pomona also has coffee shops, a pub, supermarket and antique shops of interest.
