About This Trail

Brisbane’s suburban line to Ferny Grove once extended a further 32km to Dayboro. Short sections of this are now rail trail. These are popular with mountain bikers get between the many trails in the Brisbane Forest Park and Samford Valley. The well-signposted route is a combination of quiet, sealed roads and sealed rail trail sections from Ferny Grove to Samford. Signs of the former railway are clearly evident in the Samford Conservation Park, before it rejoins quiet roads for the run into Samford Village. Ironically, Ferny Grove Rail Station is being developed as a major hub for commuters to Brisbane with hundreds of car parks, a hotel, restaurants and shopping centre. The railway station precinct is being redeveloped and there are detours in place for rail trail users arriving by train.
