Starting from the car park off Samford Road, Ferny Hills, the IBG, IBG East, and Geigers circuit is a wonderful trail that winds through Samford Conservation Park. This is an excellent track for those new to bushwalking, you'll be walking through tranquil eucalypt woodlands, and the steep parts will give you a good workout. The rare narrow-leafed red ironbark can be found in this park as well. You can take your dog on the track (on lead). There's a chance to see wallabies, powerful owls, and koalas. Picnic tables with BBQs, a cafe, toilets, and ample parking space are present. Keep an eye (and ear) out for mountain bikers.
