Noosa Attractions – Trails and Climbs
Noosa National Park
When you stay at Little Cove Court, the Noosa National Park is at your doorstep. Explore the trail to Hells Gate or travel further and do the whole trip to Sunshine Beach! With many beautiful coves to explore along the way, including the popular Tea Tree Bay and secluded Alexandra Bay, this stunning national park is well worth exploring.
Noosa Trail Network
If you’re a keen hiker, then you must check out the Noosa Trail Network! It’s a network made up of eight trails between Cooroy, Cooran, Pomona and Kin Kin. The trails are clearly signposted and start from a five-kilometre circuit, working up to 26km tracks that you could tackle over two days. If you want a more leisurely trail, you can start with the Cudgerie Countryside Loop which is a 5km circuit. For more experienced hikers, you might like to try the Kin Kin to Lake Macdonald trial, which is 26km one way.
Mt Cooroora
Sitting in the middle of Pomona in the Noosa Hinterland is Mount Cooroora. It’s one of the taller mountains on the Sunshine Coast at 439 metres high. Getting to the top requires a reasonably high level of fitness, we do not recommend this hike for beginners. Those who make it to the summit will be in awe of stunning coastal and hinterland views.
