Knapsack Reserve is a scenic bushland reserve at Glenbrook in the lower Blue Mountains, with walking paths, gorgeous views and the historic Lennox Bridge nearby. Dogs are welcome on-leash, and the clear, well-marked paths make for a lovely walk. There is parking at the reserve. A scenic on-leash bushwalk close to the city.
In the Blue Mountains, dogs must be on a leash in all public areas unless in a specifically designated off-leash zone. Knapsack Reserve is managed by Blue Mountains City Council; dogs are welcome on-leash. (Source: Blue Mountains City Council — Knapsack Reserve, bmcc.nsw.gov.au/atl-knapsack-reserve.)
Lovely walk which is also dog friendly. Great views and gorgeous scenery. There is paid parking but the machine wasn’t working.
Great walk and paths are very clear thankfully. I found the map and signs a bit lacking. Dog friendly on a lead. Overall generally easy. However We started to walk down the path to the viaduct and turned back as super steep and I was being lazy knowing I’d have to climb back up.
We tried the easy trail today, it was a good hike for a starter. We checked in Marges and Elizabeth lookout with our Frenchbulldog, next time we'll try the medium trail 😊
This place is not the best place for bike adventure however it offers a quick getaway from Sydney for anyone who wants to do a bit of bike jumps or downhill track which is quite hard (then you need to walk around the mountain to go back up), may not be for every kid. There is a little section of the track with a few jumps where jump loving kids can have fun for a couple of hours. Definitely Good for a walking park.
Great wall up to the lookout. Really beautiful if you go over the bridge and then underneath before heading up the stairs. Gets the heartrate up, but still very family friendly.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
