Deep Water Bend Reserve

Deep Water Bend Reserve is a dog walk in Bald Hills, QLD, expect diverse ecosystems including tidal flats, mangrove forests, saltmarshes, open grasslands, and eucalypt and paperbark woodlands, with opportunities for birdwatching and spotting kangaroos.

The walk

Underfoot it is boardwalks and tracks (some gravel, some natural).

Lead rules

Brisbane City Council manages the route. This is a lead-on route: the leash stays on from the car park to the exit, with council signage the only exception if a section is ever re-signed.

Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Bald Hills for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
