Turn off Eumundi-Kenilworth Rd onto Lockes Lane and park in the pullover / turning bay opposite the long driveway 1.4 km down the road. Walk the remaining 250m of Lockes Lane and go though the gate at the end of the road (leave the gate as you find it). There is a well defined track from the gate to the signed entrance to Mapleton National Park across the field here. Within the forest there are several trails leading to other sections of the park to explore. The circular walk indicated on the map is about 11 km.
