Enoggera Reservoir Beach

Highlight • Beach

This sandy swimming area at Enoggera Reservoir is a rare inland “beach” experience in Brisbane. A roped enclosure marks the designated swim zone, creating a safer space for cooling off while keeping paddlers and wildlife separate. The beach is open seven days a week, from 5.30 am to 6.30 pm between September and April, and from 6.00 am to 5.30 pm between May and August.

Araucaria Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Araucaria Track is an easy-to-moderate route that follows the northern shoreline of Enoggera Reservoir that winds through open eucalypt forest with scattered hoop pines before looping a small peninsula and returning the same way. At roughly 5 km return, it typically takes about two hours and is popular for gentle hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying views of the water.

Enoggera Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Enoggera Reservoir sits within D’Aguilar National Park on Brisbane’s north-western edge, offering a mix of bushwalking, mountain biking and non-motorised water activities. The reservoir is popular for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and designated swimming areas. Surrounding tracks wind through open eucalypt forest and shaded gullies. Carry water, and stay on marked tracks to protect surrounding bushland.
