SaveThe Eastern Escarpment Conservation Area is a 186ha reserve located in Mount Cotton that forms the upper catchment of Eprapah Creek. It incorporates multi use fire roads and single trail. The reserve climbs steeply from the valley floor up the north-east side of Mount Cotton to 360 degree views of the South East Queensland region at the very top. Terrain is rugged and includes deep gullies and dry eucalypt forest with some remnant riparian vegetation and patches of rainforest. The reserve borders Karingal Scouts and is close neighbours with Sirromet Wines.
The 'Eastern Escarpment Conservation Area Plan: Connecting with Recreation' was approved in 2019. This plan outlines the concept for development and maintenance of trails and recreational facilities whilst maintaining the natural values of this environmental reserve.
