Darwins walk

It was a lovely, peaceful walk along a well-maintained track, with beautiful scenery, plenty of wildlife and a creek running alongside much of the way. Dogs can’t complete the full 2.4 km loop, as the track eventually enters the national park, so you’ll need to turn around before then. One thing to be aware of is the metal mesh bridges. Our dogs really struggled to walk across them, so they could be an issue for larger dogs. Smaller dogs may be easier to carry across. Overall, a lovely trail if you’re happy with an out-and-back walk rather than completing the full loop.

Best dog friendly walk in the area Initially planned to go Wentworth falls but due to no pets law there Came to Darwin walk It’s worth it My dogs loved it Plenty of falls to explore

Easy kid and dog friendly walk.🐕🐾🐩🦮👧👶🧑‍🧒‍🧒🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Lovely viewing from the many tiny iron bridges along the walk. Lovely waterfalls and trees with fairly flat path. There is one section of stairs which are a bit of a challenge but okay with a few rests. Lots of kids and dogs along the path. Small dogs may need to be carried over the bridges due to the metal pattern on bridges as there are small holes that tiny paws could get stuck in. Great walk and top it off with lunch at the Conservation Hut.

We were so excited to go back to Darwin’s walk as it was closed for repairs for a few years. New track is combination of board walk, some stairs, connecting bridges, stone stepping stones etc and compared to old one it feels too “urbanised”. We were sorry to see that some of old tall pine trees were cut down at the beginning of the track🥹. However we still enjoyed walking along the creek towards the Weeping rock waterfall. It is medium grade, approximately one hour or so in one direction. Parts of the walk are not dogs accessible. Walk is otherwise short distance from Wentworth train station so convenient if you’re not driving to get there.

Great walk to intro the blue mountains or to escape modernity, easy, child and age friendly (but not disabled friendly), look out to birds and animals. Walk from WF station and back up Falls Road and enjoy the private gardens on the way back.
