Deception Bay Heritage Trail

Sports and Recreation Facilities

The Deception Bay Heritage Trail covers approximately four kilometres and can be completed in a 90-minute stroll. Over 10 unique sculptural markers, made from brushed and painted aluminium on structural aluminium pipe, identify each heritage location.
