The park is named in honour of an aboriginal Australian folklore being called a Yowie reputed to have roamed the hills of Kilcoy. The yowie is certainly memorable and the yowie statue in the park sticks in my mind from a school excursion out to Somerset Dam back in 1989. It was great to come back and see it 30 years later and take a relaxing walk through the lush green park, and around the lake filled with lillipads & water birds and read the interpretive signage re the history of the area. There is a craft store and historical museum adjacent to the park as well which looked interesting but was closed when I visited.

We were four travellers, all keen cyclists, and are return visitors to the trail. Another two days of great cycling with the track in very good condition in the main. The trail is very well signposted, and the surface is incredibly good. There are a couple of creek crossings that are best negotiated on foot if your are not a confident trail rider, all the rest are great. Some over friendly magpies about at this time of the year but they are just protecting their families from the marauding cyclists!!

Somerset Dam is not too far from Brisbane and it is beautiful. Perfect for a day trip or camping and boating. The water is cool and great for swim.
