Rivers and Water Trails
The Logan and Albert Rivers flow through farmland, bushland, urban suburbs and tidal areas in Logan before reaching Moreton Bay. As a result, the two rivers pass through a variety of landscapes. Their waterways include paddling routes used for sport, fishing and family outings. The Logan River Trail is a water-based route that you can explore by boat, canoe or kayak.
The riverside parks along the Logan River Trail also offer a variety of ways to take a break outdoors: you can picnic, barbecue, go for a walk or play with dogs. If you’d like to spend time by the river, you can combine these activities with a paddling trip; the rivers also offer opportunities for fishing. The combination of a water trail and riverside parks suits a range of day plans, without needing to centre on just one activity.
Wetlands and Koalas
The Eagleby Wetlands provide a habitat for more than 200 bird species, including 19 of Australia’s 24 species of birds of prey. These figures give an idea of the diversity of birdlife in this wetland.
