Somerset Trail

The Somerset Trail in Mount Mee offers hikers a clearly signposted trek through open forest, pine forest and pockets of rainforest which should take no more than 3 to 4 hours to complete at a leisurely pace. It is suitable for children who’ve been on bushwalks before and who have a reasonable level of fitness.

It is an easy 13 kilometre return looped circuit trail that is well maintained and signposted. Be sure to pack your drinking water as there are no drinking taps along the Brisbane bushwalks trail, plus bring energy snacks, a hat and sunscreen too. There are picnic and toilet facilities at The Gantry Day Use Area, not on the trail itself. It’s recommended to wear comfortable walking boots/shoes. This trail is mostly up a slight incline and like all rainforest walks, sections can be a bit slippery after rainfall. No domestic pets are allowed but, horses, four wheel drives and trail bikes are allowed on certain tracks which cross Somerset Trail.
