The rugged landscape at Bellthorpe falls within the catchment of Stony Creek, a tributary of the Stanley River. Along the waterway are several small waterfalls, cascades and a rock pool. The park also protects lands within the Brisbane River valley and Mary River catchments.

Remnants of a once prosperous timber cutting industry remain today. Horse riding, mountain biking and bushwalking attract visitors.


Facilities


Although camping is not permitted a day-use area with wheelchair access is provided.[1] Stony Creek picnic area has toilets, picnic tables and wood barbecues. There are no marked walking trails.
