This is an excellent walking tracking follow the river in stanthorpe up to this iconic bridge. The track is very easy to walk, great for young kids. Watch the beautiful quartz pot creek flow over the granite rocks. The track is only a few km's long with a little foot bridge to cross over the creek. If you flood the creek it comes out to the main lake area at Stanthorpe with the information centre at the top of the hill. Great spot.
The Red Bridge in Stanthorpe is a chill little spot for a walk. The track winds along the creek, and it’s super peaceful with trees, rocks, and water views.
15 minutes walk from the visitor centre,great for a quick escape or a slow wander, definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby.
A small scenic spot — it’s really nice to take a walk here.😌

Park at the end of Red Bridge Circuit and then it’s just a short walk down to the path that leads to the red bridge 🙂
Very short walk - just a couple minutes
The bridge is beautiful and the workmanship is very impressive. It’s such a shame it’s been vandalised.
This is an excellent place to go on a hot summer's day. Follow Quart Pot creek upstream (following the walking path) and you can't go wrong. Your doggos will love you for taking them!
