The Round Gladstone Trail

The Round Gladstone Trail is clearly marked with signs with the trail logo. Each section of the trail has a unique number which is shown below the trail marker or engraved on a wooden post. The trail numbers indicate which section of the Round Gladstone Trail you are currently exploring.

Bikeways

Experience the natural beauty of the Gladstone Region with a relaxed ride through the numerous parks and reserves scattered throughout the area. Bicycle riding is one of the most popular forms of recreation as it not only provides an environmentally friendly mode of transport but is also a source of exercise and relaxation for individuals, friends and families.

Turtle Way Bikeway

The bikeway winds along Boyne River, linking all of the local primary and high schools, shopping centres and community facilities. Sculpture, interpretive signage and amenities can be found along the cycleway, providing an interactive & educational package (orienteering, poetry and visual puzzle) unlocking the mystery of Boyne Rivers inhabiting Turtle, and the "Turtle’s Way".
