In the Reedy Creek area south of the Gold Coast is this small network of single-track trails in a nice forest setting. This route is primarily used as a mountain biking route although walking is also allowed. There are many intersecting trails in the forest here, and many of them are not well-signed so having the app on hand can help keep you on track. Keep your head up on the Drop Bear Trail and enjoy fun berms and jump lines through the forest.

This is a peaceful and flat trail around Emerald Lakes overlooking the water that is ideal for bird watching. For a longer route, cross the bridge and follow the perimeter trail of the two islands in the centre of the lakes. The community around Emerald Lakes is wonderful, and frequently uses these paths for running and walking. The paved surfaces make it doable for families with strollers/prams and the views delight people of all ages. This is a nice surprise for anyone in the Gold Coast...
