This trail built by Queensland Parks and Wildlife forms the lower reaches of the longer Zamia Trail that links Mt Archer summit with German Street. 900m of the trail at the lower end are within First Turkey Mountain Bike Reserve and as such are available to riders. Further into Mt Archer National Park the trail is loaded with stairs and eventually climbs steeply to the summit and is best left to the walkers. Enjoy the meandering nature of the start of this trail and please be courteous with walkers.
