A must see if you are heading towards Beech Forest!
Located along the Aire Valley Road this picnic area is a delightful place to stop and enjoy a picnic or just a short stroll into the forest. The Californian Redwood forest (Sequoia trees), were planted alongside the river in 1939.
This unique forest is enchanting and is an experience that you will not forget.
There are two picnic tables located out in the open near the forest and pit toilets are also available nearby.
Locals’ Tip: Within close driving proximity to this forest are Hopetoun Falls and Beauchamp Falls. If time permits both are highly recommended to visit while in the region. They are well signed off the gravel road

Barham River Road is a stunning road that hugs the Barham River. There is a picnic area that is the ideal place to stop for the day in the hot weather to escape from the heat on the banks of the river. You will see a picnic area called "paradise picnic area" about half way up Barham River Road. If you cross the road you and head towards the river you will be able to stop under the huge tree ferns and enjoy the scenery. If its hot you may even like to go for a swim! At the end of the road there is the old Marriners Waterfall Carpark and Walk - the waterfall is still very much there and as beautiful as ever but there are signs at the entry saying it is closed.
