Trails    Trails and our Heritage   Horse riding plays an important part in Queensland’s heritage and culture.  Formed management roads throughout national parks in South-East Queensland have historically been used for horse riding.  In 1999 the South-East Queensland Forests Agreement (SEQFA) was signed by the Queensland Timber Board, conservation groups and the Queensland Government, after a decision to end logging in SEQ and protect these forests.    Some of these trails form part of the South-East Queensland horse riding trail network, which are narrow strips of forest reserve tenure within forest that is, or is about to change to national park. Many of these forest reserves are valued by horse riders as safe, scenic places to ride.    The agreement does not exist for other existing national parks or to any future national park not identified on the South-East Queensland horse riding trail network.        Horse riding is generally allowed on State forests, lands managed by Forestry Plantations Queensland (subject to operational requirements) and on some conservation parks where indicated by regulatory signage.         A special permit is generally not required for riding on the SEQ horse riding trail network, unless it is a commercial activity, an organised group activity or a competitive event.   If you think a permit is required, contact Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service (QPWS) or see the policies below.  EPA/QPWS enquiries:1300 130 372                              (Choose option 4 for permits)   When riding on the SEQ horse riding trail network, it is important to stay on the appropriate tracks as indicated by regulatory signage.  It is an offence under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and Forestry Act 1959 to ride anywhere other than the identified trails. On the spot fines will apply.  It is imperative that when riding horses in the forest, to ride responsibly on identified trails as this will determine riders’ future access to trails. Please refer to the draft Code of conduct for recreational horse riding on multi-use trails in designated State Forests, forest reserves and protected areas produced by the Environmental Protection Agency.   See Below for our Downloadable Maps and Info                                                                                 The SEQ horse riding trail network is broken into five main areas.
