O Neills Creek Nature Trail is an easy 15-minute walk (approximately 700 metres to O Neills Road) and leads to the start of the Mt Roland Regional Reserve walking tracks. You can access the trail from the C136 at the O Neills Creek Picnic Reserve. Spectacular Mt Roland forms the backdrop to the Mt Roland Regional Reserve east of O Neills Creek Picnic Reserve.

O Neills Creek originates from rainwater from the watersheds off the western face of Mt Roland and Mt Van Dyke.
