Tewantin National Park

Tewantin National Park sits on Cooroy Noosa Road near Tewantin, in the Noosa hinterland on the Sunshine Coast. A much-loved national park, it's a lovely natural escape — combining bushwalking trails, native forest and scenic lookouts (including the well-known Mount Tinbeerwah lookout nearby) with the kind of beautiful, peaceful surrounds that draw walkers and nature lovers.

The appeal is that combination of native bushland, walking trails and lovely scenery: exploring the forest on foot, taking in the views and immersing yourself in nature, all just inland from Noosa. It's a wonderful spot for a bushwalk, a nature outing or some time away from the busier coast, with the Noosa hinterland's natural beauty all around.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 280 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. It's a national park, so access, road and track conditions, facilities and any closures vary — and as a bushwalk in natural terrain it pays to wear sturdy footwear, take water and sun protection, check conditions and stay on marked tracks — so it's worth checking national-park information before you go, then enjoying the trails and scenery at Tewantin National Park.
