Earl Hill Conservation Park

Highlight • Forest

Earl Hill Conservation Park protects a coastal headland and surrounding bushland just north of Cairns in Far North Queensland. The walking tracks in the park climb to the summit of Earl Hill, where sweeping views extend across Trinity Bay, the northern beaches and nearby rainforest-covered ranges. With a mix of open woodland and coastal vegetation, it’s a short but rewarding escape where you can immerse yourself in the region’s beautiful tropical landscape.

Smithfield Conservation Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Smithfield Conservation Park protects tropical rainforest, eucalypt woodland, ridgelines, and gullies on the lower slopes north of Cairns. The park is popular with walkers and mountain bikers thanks to its extensive shared trail network winding through dense forest and steep terrain beneath the Wet Tropics canopy. Trails range from beginner-friendly green routes to more technical climbs and descents deeper in the park.
