Greenwood Lakes

Directions: Greenwood Lakes can be accessed via a park at the
corner of Forestdale Drive and Paradise Road at Forestdale. It can be accessed via
Forestdale Road or Paradise Road off Johnson Road. Parking is street side. There
is a picnic table in the small park, but the closest toilets are in a park in Lincoln
Green Drive (off Forestdale Drive).

This site has some concrete tracks, boardwalks and some sections of
unsealed track. There is an observation tower looking over part of the lake
not far from the beginning of the walk after the first section of boardwalk.

It is an interesting site with generally a good variety of bush birds including
migrants at times, some raptors and some water birds.

Note: If there has been heavy rain and local flooding,
it is possible that this park may be closed for a period so please check with
the Logan City Council.
