Route Description for Appleton Creek Trail
Hiking the Appleton Creek Trail is a great family-friendly adventure that will allow you to experience the natural beauty of the backcountry areas along the Sunshine Coast. The trail sets out from the side of Tomkinson Road and immediately heads into a heavily forested area. Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of the Pacific Temperate Rainforest, as you cross over streams and pass by countless ferns that blanket the lush forest floor. After passing by a small and charming waterfall, you will arrive at the calm waters of Rieverley’s Pond. Take some time to enjoy this quaint area in the forest before heading back along the same route to return to the trailhead.
