Tablelands Trail

Distance: 4km return
Time: 1 hour
Terrain/Elevation: Gentle/160-235m

The main trail follows an old roadbed as it skirts the base of the mountain. You will see unusual plants and rocks as you enjoy broad panoramic views. The trail ends in the glacially carved Winter House Brook Canyon. For a shorter walk, branch off onto the Serpentine Loop, where you will see characteristic plants of the Tablelands alongside a winding path.

Trail Notes:

• GUIDED INTERPRETIVE HIKES start from here during summer months. Check at a park facility for the schedule of events.
• The trailhead starts 4 km west of Discovery Centre in Woody Point on route 431.
• Geology here marks a time when the continents of Africa and North America collided, pushing these rocks, originally beneath the ocean, to their present position on land.
• Please stay on the trail as much as possible to avoid walking on the tiny rare plants that grow on this alien landscape.
