I really enjoyed exploring the tracks and trails of Peel Forest! A good break after the covid nightmare of being indoors all the time. Lots of walks, both long and short, can be accessed from both car parks. The 'main' carpark by the big tree walk could deifnitely do with more signage though - a map of the tracks in the parkw ould be extremely useful here! The other car park is much smaller and seems to be mainly used for those doing the Little Mount Peel walk, which I would highly recommend for those of you who are a bit fitter. There is a map at this smaller carpark, and the walk is well-signposted from there. This walk takes about 5-6 hours, so it's a full day, and goes quite steeply uphill, whichever track you choose. I would recommend good hiking boots for this walk, as it's not on a flat path, many rocks and roots are in the way, so watch your footing. If you're feeling up for a challenge, go up the south ridge line and down the main track, forming and anti-clockwise loop. I wouldn't recommend going the other way around, as the south ridge walk is very steep and rocky, much easier to come up than down.

Various pathways through the native trees with many birds so very close to the township. It's a workout ie not flat - has views over the town.
