Dogs likely welcome

Basin Walk start point is a park in Sanctuary Point. Dogs are generally allowed on a lead in NSW public parks unless signs say otherwise — but the rules here aren't confirmed, so check local signage before visiting.

Dog rules

–Shoalhaven City Council's Dog Off-Leash Guide states: "Dogs in the Shoalhaven are required to be 'on leash'" unless in a designated off-leash area or dog-prohibited area. This venue is not named in Shoalhaven's off-leash list or prohibited list under D23/519887 (MIN23.740, December 2023), so the council-wide default on-leash rule applies. Dogs must be under the effective control of a competent person at all times under the NSW Companion Animals Act 1998. (Source: Shoalhaven City Council, MIN23.740 / D23/519887.)

Absolutely awesome walk along the basin. 5.2klm one way and the trail is excellent. Highly recommend.

What a top idea the Basin walk was. Absolutely picturesque, calming walk. Maintained and kept clean. A better play park for kids is a must and is the only blight on this terrific facility.
