The Flaxton Mill Road to Baxter Creek suspension bridge section in Mapleton National Park is part of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk. It’s a 6.2km return, and you’ll need to allow about 4–5 hours.

The southern approach is almost 2 kms longer then the northern approach and starts from a small car park off Flaxton Mill Road (across from Old Mill Lane) in
Flaxton.

From the northern approach.
The trail starts from Suses Pocket Road in Mapleton, 1.75 hours drive north of Brisbane.
The best spot for parking is on Esmaurel Close, 100m up Obi Obi Road from Suses Pocket Road. This is a residential street so be sure to respect those that live in the area when parking.
