Montville and the Blackall Range is renowned for its tranquility, views and beauty. Highlights include :
- Mapleton Falls - Where Pencil Creek cascades 120m over an escarpment into the Mary River. A new viewing platform has recently been opened. The Wampoo Circuit is an easy walk of 1.3km and winds through the rainforest and eucalypt forest.
- Kenilworth State Forest - The Fig Tree walk is on the Maleny-Kenilworth road where Booloomba Creek joins the Mary River. A sealed track with sections of boardwalk highlight giant specimens of the Morton Bay Fig trees.
- Mapleton Lilyponds - Created by a local resident, Ernie Setterfield and willed to the public in 1991. With an abundance of waterbirds, this is a great location for a picnic.
- Kondalilla Falls National Park - 327 hectares of national parkland, and only a short stroll to Picnic Creek. There is a walking circuit that takes you 2km back up the hillside from the Falls, and requires a reasonable level of fitness. Kondalilla Falls drops 90m into the valley below. An additional 2.7km circuit takes you to the base of the Falls - well worth the effort
- Mary Cairncross Reserve - 130 acres of rainforest with a 1.7km walking track and an amazing range of native fauna. Stunning views over the Glasshouse Mountains.
- Barron Pocket Dam - This 380 hectare lake was completed in 1989. The dam wall and spillway can be accessed. The lakeside picnic area has barbecues, toilets, and a playground. A 2.4km walking circuit leads from the car park into the Obi Obi Gorge, along a cool rainforest trail.
