Amamoor State Forest

Amamoor State Forest serves as a recreational hub in the Mary Valley region of Amamoor. The area features structured campgrounds at Cedar Grove and Amamoor Creek, providing basic amenities for overnight stays among riverine rainforest and pine plantations. Visitors access self-guided walking tracks that range in difficulty, offering sightings of local fauna such as the brush-turkey and kingfisher species. The forest maintains accessibility for day trips from surrounding regional centres. The site is situated a short distance from the Amamoor Railway Station, a stop for the Mary Valley Rattler heritage train. This proximity allows visitors to combine outdoor activities with local historical attractions. Facilities include picnic tables and wood-fired barbecues, catering to self-sufficient travellers and groups. The forest landscape transitions from dry open forest to dense rainforest, supporting a broad ecosystem that remains a primary drawcard for environmental tourism in the Gympie region.
