What people say
Beautiful spot. Great walk with many many stairs. Lots of tracks but not much signage or information about the tracks unfortunately. Parking was very expensive
Great little walk in Knapsack reserve, from Elizabeth Lookout. Some stairs going down towards the viaduct. You can do a loop or come back the same way.
Such a beautiful track. Plenty of different walking tracks connected to the carpark at Viaduct Trailhead. Our older kids Have done the walk with us and find the track nice and easy. Probably not for kids under 4-5.
This is my favourite walk to do in Western Sydney. It's deep within nature, while being 5 minutes away from society.
I never knew this is such an interesting historical place to visit, until I was taken here by two beloved locals in Penrith. Easy access, or you can walk a more difficult path around this bridge. Wow!
